[ He was expecting to maybe catch Zell a little off guard with that touch to his shoulder because, really. He knows he can't hear at this point. Anyone would probably jump to suddenly feel something on their shoulder when they couldn't hear that someone coming up behind him.
But the thing is there's not even a reaction when he first places it there. Nothing at all. No, instead he had continued to look at the floor. Which had earned a squeeze out of Zack at first- but then that hadn't amounted to anything either. No, nothing had occurred until Zell had finally caught sight of him and- ouch, that looked like it would have smarted just a bit.
...Except Zell just gives him this big, confused look. And Zack gives him this big, confused look in turn because what the hell. ] Sorry, man! I thought you knew I was- ...there. [ Right. ...Right, Zell can't hear him- he scratches the back of his head sheepishly although his concern doesn't vanish. Going to just reach over and squeeze Zell's shoulder again while he points at it with his other hand. ] I was trying to get your attention.
DON'T YOU DARE.
