"Oh... I'll uh, be sure to keep clear of him then..." Vincent said, a bit weirded out.
"So, how's the party treating you?" Jane asked, turning to Nicolas.

"Don't worry about me," Cora said, sniffling a yawn. "I don't think I've slept very well the past few nights, that's all."

"Yeah, you'd better. Though hopefully he'll try not to get hammered tonight."
Nicolas smiled. "The food smells nice and it's a lot easier to maneuver than the school party would have been. I just wish I knew what it looked like."
Giovanni sighed. "Alright. If you need anything r just want to talk, you know where to find me."

"Let's hope he doesn't. For everyone's sake."
"There are some tents set up around the room, and various blankets all over," she told him. "I wish you could see the ceiling though," Jane sighed. "It's like the one in the Great Hall. It's got stars all over it and it's...really beautiful."

"Thanks, Giovanni," she mumbled, closing her eyes for a moment before jolting awake again.

"So, why don't you go around and try to talk to someone? They won't bite."
Nicolas sighed. "Stars, huh? All my life, Giovanni's tried to describe them. I can't really imagine it, to be honest. Lights in the sky. All I know about light is how it feels, and I can't imagine that from all over the sky."

"I don't know...I guess I could try."
Jane chuckled softly. "They are a bit hard to describe, I guess. They're scattered all over the sky. Just little pinpoints, really. They glitter like tiny jewels and the way the constellations fit together... It's just mesmerizing. I wish I could describe them to you in a way you'd be able to picture, Nic... Really."

"What," he asked, "is a pinpoint? Ah, forget it. No use trying to describe to me what things look like. Sight is not a concept that I can really grasp, either."

"I know... I'm sorry." Jane paused before asking, "What's it like being blind? I mean, besides not being able to see."

Leo rested his face in his hands, feeling the tiredness begin to settle in. He checked his watch, wondering how long there was left of the year.

Nicolas smiled. "No one's ever really asked me that before. I guess... being blind is being in a world where you don't exactly have to be able to see. Sure, you have to imagine everything, and learn people's faces by touch, but if you're born blind you get good at it. You kind of just... know what things are like and where they are by feeling them, smelling them. You can identify objects and people easily through touch and voice and smell. For example, I can touch your face right now and know it's you, because you have really soft skin and your ears have detached earlobes and you smell like your shampoo. Honey scented, with a touch of lavender. And your nose is kind of rounded, and your eyebrows are a little thinner than any of the other girls. And your eyelashes are really long."

Jane found herself blushing, but she smiled slightly. "Really? That's pretty incredible. But I guess it's normal for you."

"Sure. It's exactly the same as you identifying people by sight. I identify them by smell and touch. And it lets you notice some things that people don't. For example, Ricardo's nose is really slightly crooked, only a tiny little bit, where he must have gotten hit in the face once. And he has this scar on his collarbone."

"Wow... Y'know, the more I think about it, the more I'm certain I'd be useless if I were to become blind."

"I don't know about that. After a while, you get kind of used to it. You just... learn how to deal with it all."

"Yeah, but I'd be useless for a while," she chuckled. "You'd probably have to teach me how to navigate."

"That's what the cane is for," he murmured, tapping it against the ground. "You can't sniff and touch everything in your path."

"Yeah, sound is certainly useful. To know where people are around you and get the general bearings of a room."

"Yeah. That's got to be helpful," she said, smiling. Jane fell silent for a minute before looking over at him. Curiously, she reached over, hesitating before taking off his dark glasses.
