Escaping "Home"

The purple-eyed one's expression fell almost immediately and Ono was flooded with guilt. He looked like a kicked puppy! She should have known better, she was lashing out on instinct but on a second's further thought she realized he was probably just as used to being treated poorly as she was, it was what the world did to those who didn't fit its rigid mold. She softened, mouth opening to apologize when he responded with a question and Ono's mouth snapped shut, a quizzical look flashing over her face. The other one quickly filled in for his... Brother? They would have to be brothers right? And Onoskelis did her best to bite back the sardonic laugh that was her instinct.

"You don't want it." She said. "It makes it hard to see, it's hard to judge how far or close things are, everyone either pities you or thinks you're incapable." There was a sort of bitterness to her tone but as she adds the last comment her voice becomes softer, almost longing. "You're right it can't talk, but that makes it lonely." Maybe even isolating even, there wasn't anyone in her life who could properly empathize with her experiences, her life.

"I'm sorry." She said, looking to meet the purple gaze. "I'm used to comments about my eye, my mushroom being rude, and I reacted on instinct, but I shouldn't have." She shuffled awkwardly in the log, her legs were getting cramped and she squinted at the two heads, it was hard for her to tell how close they were if there was even space for her to squeeze herself out. She cleared her throat, it felt awkward, being scrunched up in the log. "I'm uh... Gonna come out." A statement of intention and hopefully an indication that she would need space to get out if they were blocking the way.
