Can we see Moiraās s/o be interested in her heterocromea, finding her mismatched eyes to be really beautiful?
Moira was no stranger to sideways look cast her way, with tints of wonder, as if what she had been born with could have been the result of one of her experiments.
As a child, it was common for the other children to avoid her, her fiery red hair, tousled, seemingly defying gravity at each and every turn. She didn't mind being an outcast, it gave her more time to study, and to focus on what mattered most to her: knowledge.
When her s/o first complimented her on her eyes, she raised an eyebrow, not responding. She wouldn't take the bait. She was proud of being like a fortress : nothing could pierce through her walls and hurt her, so long as she kept the said walls up and solid.
But as things between her and her s/o started to get serious, she started to let her guard down, bit by bit, as her trust grew.
Her s/o's fascination with her eyes was pure, devoid of the malicious intents most bore, they would spend hours lost in her gaze, learning each nuance, capturing each shade.
They told her, once, during a cuddling session, when they were just so caught up in each other, that her eyes reflected just who she was.
Not 'mismatched', not 'odd', composite, flamboyant, refusing to blend in, fierce. Just as her hand twisted by self-experimention, her eyes showed the same division.
Binary divided as she might have seemed, torn between humanity, ethics, progress, only to forsake what was commonly accepted, what society, history and cultures established as 'good' (as if old men who walked upon their own beards, which bore the remnants of their last meals, would somehow be right about humanity's moral compass for centuries, as she put it.), only to decide that whatever she did, whatever she was, is, and will be bound to be, she will remain herself.
Regardless of what others may think about oddity.
In the end, she did agree with her s/o.
