The little wave made Lei laugh.. though it was mainly silent, it was still very evident in her eyes and smile. Sure, it was a slightly drunken smile--but who was counting?
She waved back in the same, awkwardly silly manner, then nodded when she caught the words on the woman's lips. Then, by some extremely delayed thought process, the Asian woman held up one finger in that universal symbol for 'uno momento'.. then dug into some hidden pocket on the ninja costume for a small cell phone.
Of course, the thing was never used to make actual phone calls, but text messages were very useful to Lei and everyone who knew her. She displayed it for Marisel behind a big smile and a tiny shake of her head aimed down to the flurry of texting fingertips--wondering why in the world she didn't think of it earlier (again...3 rum an'cokes).
When she was done, she held the thing up for the other woman to see. Plain (tipsy) English on the blue LED screen (somewhat)clearly read:
Im ppretty clumsy, and small- also dressed in all black. Im surprised it hasnt happennned sooner. I CAN read lips, jus make sure i can see u when u speak.
