{Sorry I ran into you. Excuse me,} [he signs, ducking his head. He can hear and see just fine, speaking is just not part of what he does anymore. He used to talk, and his vocal chords are more (or less) physically intact. He just has no desire to speak, as such an effort fills him with terror. So he's adapted back into signing. The unfortunate thing is most people don't understand what he is trying to say. So if the signals look a bit shaky it is only a sign of a need to be understood.
He tries. He tries to tell them he's fine walking on his own. London is one of the few things he can remember without his head hurting. ]
