[ That just earns a headshake. Nobody really expects anyone they know to go blind randomly, so not his fault. ]
I know.
[ A click of the tongue as he looks(?) away. No one would blame him. Even so, he doesn't want to embarrass himself all the same.
After all the time he's spent shrugging off help, it just feels...off to be lead around. Helpless? It leaves an unpleasant taste in his mouth, even if he knows it shouldn't. He's not supposed to be the one who needs help.
Still, he's quiet as he gets shuttled towards the table, and hesitates for only a second before the scrape of the chair behind him feels safe enough to sit. Once he is, he finally lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding, running a hand through his wet hair. Give him a second. ]
[Urianger responds as he leaves the table in search of a blanket.]
'Tis one of the new locations- a study for researchers of magick. Many of mine hours have been spent here since I chanced upon it.
[Aha, there's a blanket! Tucked away in a corner with another pile of books, but it looks in good condition...though it might smell a little musty. Oh well, better than nothing.
He returns to drape it over Shinjiro.]
Didst thou lose thy sight whilst out in the rain...?
[ Nothing for him to do but sit here, huh...he'll gently reach out and feel the table?? Oh, there's more books here. Figures. ]
How many studies do we even need...? Pretty sure there's more books here now than anything else.
[ Not that he's got anything against them, but isn't there like...four? He's not the type to sit surrounded by books, so they're never really on his frequent list. Plus, he's not doing a whole lot of reading now to begin with.
With the approaching footsteps stopping so close, he braces himself this time, but the thick weight that settles over his shoulder is nice. He reaches up to grip it and pull it around himself a bit more, although he frowns. ]
...Yeah, I did. I was headin' somewhere else. [ Anywhere else, after, well. That. ] Anybody gonna complain I'm getting this thing wet?
[ A familiar head of red hair flashes in his mind.... ]
