How would they communicate is a great question. Even if the OC knew ASL (which I think Fisk might let her learn, since it could still be useful to be able to talk to her to give her orders and such), Matt would have a hard time signing and the only way he could understand signs would be by touch, which doesn't make for quick conversation (nor in public places, save for slave quarters probably). If she doesn't speak either English or Spanish they definitely won't be able to communicate at all, at first and for a long time. Maybe they'll manage to slowly craft their own language. Maybe not. (Maybe Matt will try to learn Japanese from Wesley? We said young asian, I'm going with Japanese but it could change of course.)
