[Duncan does not know ASL, but he catches sight of one of Mewtwo's failed attempts to use it and recognizes it for what it is: someone having trouble communicating in an unfamiliar place.
Considering how completely fucking useless he's been feeling the past month or so, it shouldn't be any surprise that he jumps at the opportunity to actually be of help to someone. Assuming the guy is deaf, Duncan comes up beside Mewtwo and gets his attention with a polite tap against his arm. He holds up his phone, a sleek futuristic number with a slide-out dvorak keyboard, nothing like the phones one finds for sale in this world; the text in the open memo app reads:
Sign language is different between countries. I speak Spanish, need some help?
He's wearing long sleeves despite the warm weather, but they're pushed up to his elbows at the moment and his ImPort tattoo is clearly visible, reading "AWOL". He was so focused on taking the opportunity to help that he didn't think to cover it back up first.
And also, well, he hopes English is their language in common here. If not, his phone can translate, but that wouldn't be nearly as convenient.]
