I'm sorry.
Were you taken in the middle of something important?

I'm sorry. [hmm... she's trying to figure out what else might be making him feel bad. He doesn't seem like much of a talker even over text so she doesn't want to push him too hard, but...]

What's bothering you, is it anything that can be helped? I'd like to offer whatever assistance I can.

[:( spoiler: she doesn't like that answer. There's a pause as she types and deletes and types again a few messages before settling on]

Why?

[hm, she'll ask about that first thing later]

Of course.

No, I can't.

[whatever she was expecting him to text, that wasn't it. So her curiosity spurs her to ask]

Why do you ask?

[there is a pause as she reaches up a hand and gently prods the skin under her eyes... Did they...?]

I wasn't aware.
[...]
If it's alright to ask, how do they look different?

[then maybe he's talking about-- Ah. She had no idea there were remnants left. she wonders how much she should say back]

Something like magic was cast on me when I was young. It was only recently broken. I think that might be what you saw.

[that strikes a good balance]

[personal profile] blindoptimism 2014-10-09 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Only because I was told about it by the one who cast it. But for a very long time everyone thought my blindness was caused by psychological factors.

[that text takes a very long time to send. Lots of phrasing and re-phrasing]

[lamo zhas, I SEE what you did there.....]

But as I said, the spell was broken. I didn't realize that there were residual effects.

Do you have a gift for seeing such things?
blindoptimism: (quiet ♛)

zhas

[personal profile] blindoptimism 2014-10-10 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That's amazing.

[that is sent, and then immediately after]

I'm sorry if I unnerved you at all.
blindoptimism: (offer ♛)

zhas

[personal profile] blindoptimism 2014-10-11 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad.
And, if it's alright I'd like to say that I don't want to ignore you.
