“ erm, it don’t ‘ave to be love or nothin. “ he half said and half formed a question because he wasn’t sure if he was right in his response or not. “ i s’ppose so. “ 

She ducks her head down as she processes what he’s said. “Well, aside from potential crushes...I guess the people I like the most are the ones I can talk to easily. But...lots of them have left now, and I’ll admit that makes me sad.” Looking back up to him, she gave him a half smile as she interlocked her fingers and squeezed them. “I think I like this girl I met, though.” It’s just above a whisper and a blush immediately spreads across her face.

“Even if you didn’t wear glasses though you’d still be faced with getting sand in your eyes,” Tatia commented.  She’d had her fair share of irritated eyes both with and without glasses. A particular incident came to mind, one that brought her back to her days of exploring the world outside of camp and a melancholy smile appeared.  “Ah you’re welcome!”

She giggled a bit at the fact Tatia had stated before offering an amused smile. “ Another truth you bring to the table. ” She shifted to stretch her arms behind her back and was rewarded with a slight pop as her back adjusted itself. “ I’m wondering if there’s a way to fix it, though, like a spell, or a potion, or something. I’d like to get none sand in my eyes, if possible. ”

“ they was cute kids. “ he said, “ am i going to? no. i don’t t’ink so. i don’t know ‘ow. i t’ink t’ey ‘old ‘ands and confess stuff? “ he guessed, “ which one are them? the ones t’at stand out? “ 

“I believe it. I’m sure any kid you have will be cute.” She looked down for a moment, nodding as he spoke. “That makes sense. I don’t know if it’s actually like love or anything, so I don’t want to commit to naming them. Even if I was, I don’t want to ruin my friendships with them, ya know? I’d rather have friends than a significant other.”

MATTIE.

–– “nah, thick frames are actually cute on the right people and i think you’re one of those people.”

“ I think they’d look good on you      too, if that counts for anything. ”

CINNAMON ROLL.

“ they was awesome! mezzie and zach. i miss them but i think you would’ve like them! “ his cheeks reddened as he said, “ noooo. i don’t ‘ave a girlfriend. i sort of liked someone but i t’ink she left camp. do you got someone you like? “

“ Mezzie and Zach, huh? Those are cute name, and I’m sure I would like any child you have. You’re my best friend. ” She chuckled, before squinting a little, almost as if to see if he was fibbing. “ Well, hopefully she didn’t. And if she didn’t, are you doing to pursue her? Or, I don’t know, what do people do to get into relationships, but that? Someone....I like? I like everyone, but, I mean, some...people stand out...on how much I like them in comparison to others. ”

“I wouldn’t say you’re a scaredy cat, if anything you’re probably a little better off since you’re more likely to protect your eyes that way if you’re that against having things come close to them,” Tatia replied thoughtfully.  With a blooming smile, Tatia said, “Thank you.  You’re very pretty too, actually - very pretty eyes.”

Opal snorted but smiled at Tatia’s comment, before shaking her head. “ That’s very true, though I’m disappointed they don’t protect my eyes from sand and stuff like that. But seeings worth a little sand, I guess. ” She felt heat rise in her cheeks as she all but beamed at the compliment. “ Thank you. That’s very kind of you. ”

BIG BROTHER JAEMIN.

–– he smiled widely back at his sister, “nah, you’re fine.” he shook his head to reassure her that they didn’t look awful on her. “hey, anytime. i ask you about weirder things anyway, so never think that you’re bothering me, okay?”

She couldn’t help but chuckle a little. “ Well thank you, regardless. I don’t think you ask weird things. I think they’re quite interesting. It makes me feel better about all the questions I ask people. And like someone once told me, if you don’t ask them who will? ”

“Considering I’m not wearing my glasses right now I’m quite sure I’m wearing contacts.  They’re more or less a saving grace for me; glasses just tend to get in the way too much.”  A thoughtful look came over Tatia as she held her chin.  “Then again I was a child the last time I wore a monocle.”

“ Wow. ” Opal stared at Tatia for a moment, awed and unable to say anything more than that small utterance for a whole minute. “ That’s so cool. I can’t wear contacts, I’m too much of a scaredy cat. ” She chuckled, thoughtlessly playing with a strand of hair, before continuing her train of thought. “ I’m sure you can still pull it off, you’re very pretty. ”

“ was everything all blurry before? “ he asked, “ then….then they’re a beautiful murky lake water color. i met me kids! and me nieces and nephews a few days back. it was real excitin. “ 

“ I mean, not everything. But I definitely see a huge difference, in the sense that I can see things more clearly, even from a distance. ” She blanched at him, before frowning. “ I missed meeting your kids?! Not fair! Were they really cool? I bet they were. Does that mean you finally got a girlfriend? Can I meet her? Aw, I bet you guys are really cute together! Ugh, I missed so much! ”

[unburncdwitch]

BIG BROTHER JAEMIN.

–– “not at all. this one looks good on you.”

She tried to not let onto how ecstatic she was to be talking to her brother. She failed utterly, beaming at his response to her concerns about her new glasses. “ Thank goodness, I was worried I’d look silly. Uh, thank you by the way! For letting me bother you with my glasses concerns. It means a lot to me. ”

[unburncdwitch]

NICE STRANGER.

“The thick frames are nice.”

“ Thank you. I think I like them too. I’m Opal by the way, and I don’t think I’ve ever met you, but if I did, I’m sorry, I’ve got a horrid memory. ” She offered the stranger a grin before holding out a hand to shake his.

CINNAMON ROLL.

“ the rain’s got to be a pain! but seein is nice. ” he smiles, “ o no you’ve got pretty eyes! now t'at you can see you should look in a mirror and see. ”

“ Seeing is great! I feel like I’ve missed a lot now that I can see. ” She snorted, trying not to laugh before she shook her head. “ I can see now, David, so I can say that. Have I missed anything cool while I was away this time, though? ”

“Well believe it.  I suppose I just have yet to find my perfect match.”  A small laugh accompanied her comment as she tilted her head back towards the sun, basking in the golden glow.  “I am no Aphrodite child so it’s very unlikely I’d look good in any eye wear.  Though I must admit I can pull off a monocle.”  Another laugh.

“ I’m sure you’ll find it one day, hopefully one day soon too. I mean, unless you can wear contacts and you’re comfortable with them. ” She wouldn’t put it past her, but Opal just couldn’t get over the nerves of being that close to her own eyes. She shivered even thinking about it. “ Oh, a monocle! Wow, I don’t think I could pull one of those off. ”

[unburncdwitch]

MATTIE.

–– “hm.. probably not, no. they look good on you.”

“ Oh thank goodness, I was worried thick frames would look bad on me. ”

CINNAMON ROLL.

He smiled big, “ Do you gots to wear t'em all the time? is it true they gets foggy when you try drinkin tea? I ‘eard t'ats a t'ing. ”

She grinned in response before giving a slight shrug and a sigh. “ I’m supposed to. And it’s totally true! It’s terrible. Ugh, and when it rains. But...I don’t know. I’m glad I can really see now. ” She paused before cocking her head and grinning again. “ I never realized you had such pretty eyes, David. You’re so lucky. Mine look like murky lake water. ”

[unburncdwitch]

CINNAMON ROLL.

“ i don’t know. i t’ink t’ey look nice. it’s a bit weird seein you with glasses only cause ‘ve never seen you with glasses before. “

She chuckled, before quickly sticking out her tongue at him. “ It’s new for me too, but apparently I need them. The exact words were ‘I’m glad you don’t have a license, because you would probably hit someone with your car.’ So, yeah. ”

“You are very welcome,” Tatia smiled.  “Wish I could pull off glasses that well.  Mine tend to be somehow unflattering most of the time.”

“ I find that a bit hard to believe. ” She cocked her head to the side, trying to imagine Tatia with glasses. “ I think you’d look pretty with any kind of eyewear. ” Opal chuckled then, imagining her as the type that could wear sunglasses indoors and look cool doing it.
