[ At first, he thinks he's stopping so he starts to let out a sigh of relief.
Only for him to continue ringing the bells after he scoots over. Why this? He's just going to try to listen for where the bells are loudest and put his hands over the bells or hands ringing bells. Whatever is easiest to grab for. ]
[ Dazai gets both his hand and the bells, flat over both and Ayabe looks up at him. A hand over his own is a gesture of comfort and that's what he takes it as, unable to hear Dazai's words or read his lips.
At the very least, Ayabe is still able to speak, so he opts for that- simple yes/no questions Dazai can visually respond with. ]
Wow at both these things. Because he can't really see that well. It might be best just to answer yes anyways. After a moment, he'll give a nod before tapping his ear to indicate he heard. ]
[ It's probably Ayabe's notebook since he keeps one with him at all times, but unless Dazai knows to flip towards the end of the book, he'll be writing over words that are already there. It's fine; Ayabe can still parse through them. ]
What scratching noise? Where? I can't hear, so I missed that.
There's no way. Plum wouldn't allow rats in the house.
[ LITTLE DOES HE KNOW but also, he's not the one with sight taken from him, and he would know if there are rats. The creatures are very good at hiding, but there's signs he absolutely wouldn't miss, like droppings or spilled food or corners of things chewed up. ]

Yeah.
[ to answer what he takes Dazai's question to be, whether Ayabe still can't hear. ]
I wasn't close, though. I usually get up earlier, but not today... I was worried there was something strange at breakfast that did that to her.

Though at this point, he's just going to move away to grab whatever notebook that is closest. He doesn't even check to be sure it's his.
Just going to write on it... Then he'll flip it around. ]
Food is fine.
