if you're sure

uh, long story short?
kinda took a blow to the face during a fight.

[By way of a sword to the face while in the armor, but ... that detail probably isn't necessary.]

[onerous]

What!?

[Well she knew he did lie. fighting things and. stuff. But. ??? ????]

Be more careful! [Thanks Yuri.] But it worked out, right? You don't have any lingering after-effects or anything do you? You're alright?

[wolfpuppy]

it's fine, it's fine! i'm fine now, no side-effects or anything. promise. it happened a few years ago already.

text

[onerous]

What happened?

[Aside from 'took a blow to the face']

[Hoo boy. Yuri, you sure you wanna open this can of worms?]

i ended up getting hit in the face with a sword trying to protect someone.

while i was in the armor!

but

uh

yeah. i ended up being blinded for a few days before it was healed. someone close to me had traded their eyesight for mine in order to let me see again.

[What he's not mentioning is the stumbling around, getting arrested, losing his sword (again), and that the one who traded their sight was his own mother.

...

Yeah. It happened.]

text

[onerous]

I'm sorry. [She can't think of any other way to respond to that.]

How does someone trade their eyesight...? [Eye transplants...?? MAGIC?? she doesn't know.] Sorry, nevermind. You don't have to answer that, obviously.

[wolfpuppy]

[Technically a bit of both...?]

it's fine, like i said, happened a while ago already

but, basically there was a spell that was used that essentially gave my blindness to that other person. if that makes any sense

[onerous]

[Yuri's quiet for a long moment, taking that in.]

You must have meant a lot to them for them to give that up for you.

[There's a question there, but she's not sure if she's comfortable asking outright 'who was it']

text

[wolfpuppy]

yeah. i did.

anyway

you asked about what i was doing when i was gone?

text

[onerous]

[That sure was a subject change. She sees that.]

Yes. Are you alright? Nothing too terrible happened, did it...?

text

[wolfpuppy]

[you saw nothing]

all things considered, we're good. finished what we had started and learned a few things on the way, so definitely a win-win.

though i suppose that's kinda moot now

text

[onerous]

At least when you go back for good you'll be going back to a happy end? [Or something.]

Could you remember anything about being here while you were home?

text

[wolfpuppy]

hopefully.

not really? it felt a bit fuzzy, to be honest. that and we were kinda in the middle of things, so it wasn't really on my mind until after everything was said and done
