A quiet place to die

He swore he could hear her smile when she spoke, sounding friendly enough but Veigar wasn't so sure. For some reason her tone just agitated him further, though right now he was pretty sure nothing would sit quite right with him. She introduced herself as Medusa, leader of Insomnia, and he nodded in understanding. So she was the one that had taken over. Hadn't she bee "Yes. Habari," he answered plainly. Everything from back then felt so far away now - even though it felt like he'd been barely subsisting ever since then.

And then she said something that caught him off guard. He visibly flinched when she spoke, calling out his blindness relatively quickly. His instinct was to deflect, to deny, but she sounded convinced, like it wasn't just a hunch. She didn't really give him room to deny it, so for a long moment he paused as he weighed his options on how to proceed. His head tilted slightly down, attempted to avert his eyes away from her, at least as best as he could manage given he couldn't tell exactly where she was in proximity to him. "Yes. Only partially, but it's gotten worse." And by worse, he meant he could see nothing, not even the small hints of light he'd been able to see for so long.

So... now what? Would he be declared useless, left to fend for himself? That was basically what he'd been doing up until now anyway, completely unwilling to let anyone in on what he'd been going through for so long. Somehow he'd successfully hid his disability but it seemed now he could hide no longer. He wondered how his packmates would look at him now, not that he'd really been close to any of them, but, at least they were something familiar in this world that felt entirely unfamiliar and alien to him now.
