The little albino's words brought a confused frown to Odysseus lips. His brow furrowed briefly as he tried to figure out what his greeting had to do with her being blind and not deaf. He was so accustomed to his voice that it didn't immediately occur to him that she found fault with it. When it did his frown deepened, not because he was displeased with her, but because he would have to make a conscious effort to change it to suit her liking. But, he reasoned, perhaps her hearing was heightened because of the loss of her sight. If that were the case he was obligated to oblige her, was he not? Odysseus made a mental note to speak softly in her presence from there on out. "My apologies," he said in a soft but brusque voice.
As for her compliment, he dipped his head in thanks - forgetting for a moment that she was blind - and then fixed his mistake by saying, "Thank you. Perhaps together we can keep her honest until her wounds heal." They were having a bit of fun at Shaye's expense, sure, but Vail's reaction to Shaye's fib convinced Odysseus that she deserved every second of it.
Shaye again spoke of testing him as a healer and this time Odysseus was quick to seize the opportunity to correct her before it could escape him. "Actually, while healing is an interest of mine, I believe I will be better utilized as a fighter."
