That was all he needed to know, okay, he could just communicate through angry chomping. Why couldn't Heiji do that??

The running water was super easy to hear, at least in a tiny ass washroom, so Jake stumbled around, slowly and carefully trying to make to the sink. The best way to handle this was to have the water be poured over his eyes and down his face, but it wasn't like he could just stick his head under the faucet. His dumb beefy head wouldn't fit in the sink, so he just cupped the water into his hands and splashed his face multiple times until he thought it felt all right enough. This would probably take a while so hope Heiji didn't mind. At the very least, Jake was going to talk throughout it.

"Tap once for yes, twice for no," he started, then paused to rinse out his mouth. "I guess you're being forced not to talk?"
