A familiar face, indeed. He had believed her to have vanished off the face of the islands, an unfortunate thought considering she had been one of the more tolerable students on the island. Such a belief did not stem from her silence, but her intelligence proven once upon a trial. It would be a lie to claim that her whereabouts do not cross his mind once in a blue moon.
Slender figure bends in order to more clearly read her mode of communication. “It has been quite awhile, has it not? Have you been ill? Although you are not a competitor for the title of "sociable student”, your absence has been noticed.“ By him, anyways. Standing straight, he is patient. Patient with the young mute woman.

Oddly enough, she thinks back to her
absence and cannot remember
more than sleeping away days
for how long? time is barren in this
period, this girl thinks longer
than needed, that much is clear. And
where she had been for that, it would
be…? She really doesn’t know. What

Pause, if evident in presentation,
will be present before she begins
her reply.
[ yeah, it has. it’s nice to see you again.
about being gone…uhm, i think i was
sleeping- not sure where exactly- just
sleeping? i don’t think i was sick, but
i might be wrong- actually, being sick
seems pretty possible. ] she pens, words
being crossed and scribbled out along
the way as she contemplates in casual
syntax.
