Sad, then happy is what Claudius signs, though it might have been more accurate if he knew how to sign them both at once. He still goes through the gestures. "Bittersweet. I miss her. And," he confesses, because it's easier to confess fragile feelings with signs behind them, "I spent a lot of today terrified. I was scared my friend would be taken to hell, and I was scared that I could be taken, too. And then I would no longer be with thee," with a faint smile, "in a place Gertrude could feel happy for me." It would feel like a last betrayal somehow, betraying Galahad and Gertrude at the same time. They're both (he realizes this more slowly than he should) people who worry about him. "But when I saw thee, I was hopeful again. I feel that way when I'm with thee: hopeful and happy. Now I'm happy thou wilt have me care for thee, and hopeful thou wilt like how I cut thy hair."
