Kalli understood why seeing someone walk right off a cliff could be upsetting. It would have been quite upsetting to her as well if she had wandered over the edge. That didn't mean she wasn't any less annoyed by his question. Although she supposed he had no way of knowing she couldn't see him or the damned cliff until she turned toward him. It did make her a bit curious about who else might have tried to go over this edge, but she wouldn't bother to ask. Her ear flicked with irritation, but she wouldn't comment on it any more. She was really more irritated at her situation than him, he just happened to be something convenient to focus her anger on. "Yes, I need your freaking help," she mumbled grumpily at his question, whether it was rhetorical or not. Luckily she wouldn't have to say any more before she heard him move closer and then felt his touch on her right shoulder, moving her a good 90 degree turn so that the cliff was at her side. She signed with a little relief and nodded before turning to her left and moving a few feet away from the cliff. Kalli turned back toward him, her sightless gaze again looking in his general direction. "Thanks," she said grudgingly before settling onto her haunches. "I was born blind. I've learned a few tricks to help me get around, like relating a cliff to one side of me so I can keep track of where it is in relation to where I turn. Or taking longer strides so I can reach my forepaws out in front of me more than you might so I can feel around for where I'm going so I can catch myself and not walk off the edge of a cliff," she explained. She wasn't real sure he was interested, but she felt like maybe she might owe him some kind of explanation. She had never really been around anyone that didn't know she was blind so this was strange for her. The only wolves she had ever really interacted with before now was her father, foster mother, and adopted siblings. There was going to be quite a few learning experiences now that she was on her own she was sure. |
