Lerith didn’t have another short word handy to indicate that the new person, Varos, was the newest resident of the city. A small frown. Being mute in this scenario had him feeling especially handicapped compared to normal. At least others could see and read what he wanted to say.
No, he wouldn’t let this get him down. He could be a welcoming committee if he wanted to! Though Varos couldn’t see it, he grinned at the pun.
At the question, he didn’t spell anything outright. Instead, he took the man's hand to lay on top of his own - very thin and bony, like he hadn't much to eat in the past - and see-sawed his hand back and forth to indicate 'so-so'. Then another gentle poke to Varos' shoulder, then spelled [full blind?] against the palm again.
Lerith giving his all out here
