Squint

It did concern Ember a bit when Solaire mentioned that his vision was going blurry and his eyes felt weird. She was no doctor like Gwynevere or Syanna were, but that didn't sound good. When Solaire mentioned that their aunt had already checked his eyes and found nothing obviously wrong with them, well, that was the most concerning news of all! Something was clearly wrong with her brother's eyes, but no one could find any cause of what was bothering him? Hell no, that wasn't right! Ember shot Sol a skeptical look when he chalked it up to just growing up or not getting enough sleep. "Sol, you and Nelu are the only ones of us with a set bedtime," she pointed out to him. There was no way he wasn't getting enough sleep.

Solaire invited her to check his eyes out and Ember shot him another quizzical stare. Really?! He wanted her to take a look at his eyes? What the hell was she going to see? She didn't have the first clue as to what she should even be looking for! But when Sol sat there and stared at her with huge, wide open eyes, Ember just breathed an exasperated sigh and came closer to humor him. "All right, ya big goof, let's see what's going on in those peepers." Reaching up to cup his cheeks in her paws, Em brought Sol's head down to her level so she could peer into his eyes. She didn't have to look long to find what was wrong. The change of color in his irises was so dramatic that it nearly made her recoil in shock, blinking wide-eyed in surprise. "Uhh, Sol? Your eyes are... changing colors," she began, not really sure how else to explain it. "You've got amber like Dad's eyes blending in the turquoise now. Kinda like mine, but amber instead of blue." Looking around quickly, Ember guided Solaire over to a mirror on one of the cabinets so he could see what she was talking about.
