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]

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?

[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 ♛)

[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.

Logically, it seems that we'll all be working together.
I don't think we'll be able to avoid each other for very long, and we'll work better if we're together.
And, personally, you've been nothing but kind. I have no reason to want to avoid you.


[she tries to make it sound as formulaic and logical as possible. like, other than the scary skull face, he's been an okay dude]

[she smiles slightly on her end and like... wiggles her head back and forth a little. closet dork]

Okay. Thank you for considering it.
And truly, thank you for letting me know that you're
[.... she's not sure what word is appropriate] unharmed. I was glad to get this message.

You too.
