Monsters

Feeling seen was basically his biggest motivator in life, and right now he felt like all of Viscera's attention was on him and him alone, and he was simply delighted. At least that was one perk of Recluse having more kids; that there were young kids now to look up to him. Otherwise he was convinced the cons heavily outweighed the pros, but it wasn't like he had any say in the matter and he definitely knew better than to make his opinion known.

Well.. maybe this kid would be better to have around than the others, if he really was having issues with his sight. It made him feel marginally less shit, at least for a second. His pale eyes lit up with interest as the boy spoke, explaining that his sight was kinda like what Veigar had said but also not really. He gestured to his eye and Veigar nodded, deciding all at once that his issues were probably not like his own. His own issues weren't related to the sunlight or darkness - in fact, things were generally easier for him to see in the daylight. Night was no doubt the worst of all for him.

"So it's not… like, getting worse? It's kind of just how it is?" Yeah, Veigar was sure that his issue was something completely different. His sight was worsening.. slowly, very slowly, but noticeably. "It's different for me. Since the sun came back, everything is just getting more and more blurry. I thought I was imagining at first but I know I'm not now." He paused then, considering what he'd just said. "Don't tell anyone though, alright? Seriously. I don't need anyone… I don't know, feeling sorry for me or whatever," he explained quickly, though pity wasn't really what he feared. Rejection and disappointment, though, definitely scared the shit out of him. The last thing he wanted was to let anyone down, to seem lesser because of whatever was happening to his sight. Part of him still hoped he was just making the the whole thing up.
