Luthien: I can't see.
Ferrahn: . . .
Luthien: I'm going to stay here.
Ferrahn: This always happens when you get the attacks?
Luthien: Yes.
|
Ferrahn: How long does the blindness last?
Luthien: A long time. To me.
Ferrahn: *frowns*
Luthien: An hour, at most. I would think.
|
Ferrahn: And Evien doesn't know?
Luthien: No, he doesn't.
Ferrahn: But--
Luthien: I said he doesn't.
|
Ferrahn: He needs to know, Luthien.
Luthien: No, he doesn't. I regain my sight after a while. That's the most important thing. You will not tell him.
|
Ferrahn: What if your sight never comes back?
Luthien: It will. It always does.
Ferrahn: What if?!
Luthien: If that happens, you can tell Evien and he can blame himself all over again.
Ferrahn: . . .
|
Ferrahn: *hiss* I don't like this. He might be able to help you.
Luthien: And how would he be able to do that?
Ferrahn: . . .
|
Luthien: He doesn't need to know, Ferrahn. You know that.
Ferrahn: . . .
Luthien: Ferrahn.
Ferrahn: *soft hiss*
Luthien: Thank you.
|
Luthien: Leave. I want to be alone.
Ferrahn: For how long?
Luthien: Until my sight comes back.
Ferrahn: . . .
Luthien: As long as he doesn't see you, he won't suspect a thing.
Ferrahn: You've been doing this often, haven't you?? He thinks you're with me when you're...
Luthien: Leave me.
|
Ferrahn: I'll be back later.
Luthien: I'll be able to make my way inside fine.
Ferrahn: I'll be back later. You will not move until I come back.
Luthien: Fine. Have it your way.
|
| Luthien: This shouldn't have happened. Not in front of him.
|
| Ferrahn: *hiss* I don't like this.
