Pheonix Down (Under New Ownership)

"Ah, I'm fine," Isabella laughed nervously, getting to her feet. "I'm just a little bit clumsy, is all," she admitted sheepishly, blushing a bit.

Mm
*nods and walks slowly over to her*
Sorry, I'd have helped you up, but I didn't see you coming really...
*rubs the back of his neck and looks down a little*
I guess my mind's so occupied I can't see people as easily as I usually can just yet..

Tilting her head to the side, Isabella blinked curiously.
"Hmm? Not as easily...?" she murmured curiously.
Is he blind...? I wonder....

*sighs softly and looks up*
Yeah, I'm blind...
*realizes she didn't say it out loud too late*
Oh!
I'm sorry!
I didn't realize you didn't say that out loud until just...
*looks slightly away, blushing lightly*
Nevermind..

Laughing softly, a sound like beautiful bells, Isabella smiled.
"No, no, it's fine!" she assured him kindly, . "My name is Isabella. And you?"

*turns and blushes a little*
I'm Alexandre, Alexandre Lionheart.
Pleasure to meet you..
*looks down at her and smiles a little*
Not to be rude, but your laugh is very beautiful...

"Th-thank you," she stuttered softly, blushing more.
Being so close after sunset, her appearance started to change, but so close to this boy, so distracted by him, she didnt notice just yet.

*smiles a little*
No thanks necessary for the honest truth, really.

Smiling up at him, Isabella began to wonder.
"Umm...Alexandre...This..may sound odd...or rude, and I really dont mean it to be that way, but...how...much can you see, or have you seen...?"
Maybe...

I wasn't always blind, but...when I try to remember what I was able to see when I wasn't, it's always vivid and horrible
*shudders a little*
So I just concentrate on the present
*smiles*
Ummmm as for the other question, I'm a strong telepath, really strong. I just kind of use everyone else's eyes as my own if that makes any sense. I see the picture of the area through their mind's eye. I usually use Hudson
*smiles as Hudson flies down having perfect timing and landing on his shoulder*
He's my buddy!

With a warm smile, Isabella giggled at the bird.
"Well hello there," she cooed to it, then glanced back to Alexandre. "So...you see through everyone else's minds...?"
My paintings...I wonder if they could...

*smiles and nods energetically*
Yep!

"Mmm...Are you able to see what I'm seeing now?" she asked quietly.
I wonder...what i could show him...

*smiles softly*
Yes, and I must say, your view of the world is very nice

"If you can see what I'm seeing now, can you see what I've seen before?" she whispered, enjoying her conversation with him thoroughly.
And if you can't, would you like to...?

Umm, if you think about it.
*smiles warmly at the girl*
I CAN get into your memories, but it requires a little concentration, and I don't usually pry any further than vision and current thoughts or feelings.
It would be rude without invitation.
I'd actually...love to
*pushes his last thought to her*

"I see," she said, still smiling and drawing Teishoku.
This is one of my favorite memories..., she thought, beginning to paint the beaches of Nice all around her, a living, "Breathing" scene around the two of them.
"Can you see any of this...?"

Mmm..
*thoroughly enjoys the panoramic view*
That's....the most gorgeous view..
It feels as if, as if I can really see again..Your memories of it make it seem that much more vibrant and alive.

"This is where I grew up," she whispered softly, smiling at him. "The city of Nice in France...I'm glad my paintings and memories can show you these things," she finished, genuinely happy that she's able to show someone, even someone who CANT see, the beauty of life.

*smiles faintly and looks down*
Where I grew up before I met my parents...isn't so pretty.
The alleys in the slums of London.
I guess I just..got lucky three years ago when my parents found me and adopted me

Smiling softly, a little sadly now, Isabella gently touched Alexandre's shoulder with a light, warm touch.
"I'm sorry Alexandre...But, you know...as an artist...I know...that sometimes...To paint a really beautiful picture," she whispered, changing the scenery to a night time view of a field and sky, with dark blue grass and thousands of stars, "you've got to use the really dark colors..."

*smiles warmly and looks up at her*
I know Bella, I don't feel regret anything I've gone through. It has made me who I am today, and these past three years have been the happiest I can remember.
*reaches his hand up to touch hers*
Thank you beautiful Isabella.
For giving this blind boy sight, even if only for a night.

Blushing lightly at his comment and touch, all her illusions, at least, surrounding herself, gone now, she smiled a bit.
"Y-you're welcome...I'd...I'd be happy to show you my memories any time you liked, really...It's why I recorded them so acurately, so detailed. I wanted to be able to share them with people...so they could see what they missed...if they passed it by too quickly," she whispered.

*smiles warmly at her and kisses the back of her hand softly*
You're very sweet. I'd love to take a guided tour through whatever you wanted to show me.
Everything through your eyes is far more vibrant and stunning than through anyone else's you know. A guy could get used to seeing like that, and then be bored when it went back to blase.
*laughs softly*
I didn't get to pass anything by too quickly, I just...didn't get to see anything pass by
*sticks his tongue out playfully at her*

Giggling quitly, she touched Teishoku's tip lightly to his tongue, turning it purple and making sure he could see it clearly in her mind.
"It's rather rude to stick your tongue out..."
Smiling, though, she nodded to him.
"I'll gladly show you anything you'd like to see," she answered, surprised that she was so comfortable around him.
