Forgive me if I have t his wrong, but I was under the impression that thieves' cant was a means of verbal communication such that others wouldn't follow the nuances and secret hidden codes within otherwise seemingly regular conversation. I did not think it was similar to Drow hand signals, although I'm fine with whatever the GM wants.

That's why I hesitated to respond. How does it work in this game Drama?

I had to go back and re-read the entry. Per RAW, you are absolutely correct, it's a means of injecting a second meaning into an otherwise normal conversation AS WELL AS a "hobo" code of symbols you can leave on houses and such. I think I'm going to hold to that as a standard rule. However, as the game goes on, two of you conversant in the Cant would be able to develop very limited hand signals to coordinate with the Cant. If you want Dustin, you can retcon your hand signal to a typical Thieve's Cant vocalization for identify.
