RE: Blind Faith
There was a faint intake of breath as he said his name, although it was not followed by another with the name of her home. She'd never known it or even it's name. She'd been far too young when Dainel had found her. Six but small enough to be mistaken for four. But Thomas was close enough to Toumas, and Thomas looked enough like her 'father' for it to be disconcerting. She reached up to her breast and fondled the infinity necklace that dangled beside her Falican pendant and stroked it thoughtfully. It was an odd coincidence, but as weird as the things she'd seen in the past year had been, being brought back from the dead wasn't one of them. It did serve to strengthen her fondness for her companion though and she stood up, and on impulse, kissed his cheek lightly before laughing. "A second one sounds perfect." Letting all of his other explanations just lay as he'd put them down. She was a bit trusting, but not as much as you'd think growing up with the Falicans. However, she did trust her own instincts.
She took a few seconds to go get another bottle for each of them and to recover her composure. Leaning against the counter, she had to frown and fan her face a little. She felt flushed. "Relax, calm down.." She tried to talk herself down, and even went so far as dropping a few ice cubes down her shirt and letting it melt. One thing the Falican knew, it was control. Even if their current High Priestess in Barton seemed to flaunt it. Shaking her head at the memory of the one time she'd met the woman, she shook out most of the dampness from her shirt and readjusted her pants to not fit quite so tightly and then headed back upstairs. "Brew incoming...."
And popped the bottle, sitting one before him and another for herself. "You seem to move about pretty well for a blind guy, if you don't mind me saying so. I can see your eyes are unfocused, but they are still clear. My brother was blind. He could kinda see with a bit of energy manipulation, but he wasn't that good last time I saw him." Frowning at the memory. It'd been far too many years since she'd seen her brother. She'd been told there wasn't even a grave for them. They hadn't even found the bodies. She only hoped they'd been dragged off for burial instead of wild animals getting them.
