[She's had close to a month of watching her erstwhile classmate's hands and mentally hearing a voice, now. She's been given a name in this silent language. The library had books on it along with books on the ones she'd have to learn to pronounce, she'd had time, and... now seems like a decent time to try.
She's nervous, so she's moving awkwardly. Her face is a mask of concentration. Timeframe, topic, action, the words have to go in that order, and she has to remember this. No matter what, her signing is going to come off amateurish, a foreigner speaking a language she doesn't really understand.
[Immediately/right now] sorry

[Tomorrow] fight plan yes
She still isn't quite sure how to mark something as a question, so she tilts her head to one side after "yes".]
