2nd Vision | [Action]
[Any City - Day]
[Caelestis had been dreading this day since he arrived here, so he was certainly well aware of it when it finally arrived. He wasn't one to get bent out of shape because of birthdays - he didn't care even though he was in his 30s - but there was one major figure here that was missing that never was before. That was his twin sister, whom he shared every one of his birthdays with. He knew that time didn't flow the same way here as it did at his home, but it was easier to say that they were 33 now rather than trying to figure out the technicalities behind Genessia's time against Celveryia's. He'd always been one to hide his emotions if anything would ever bother him, but this was one case that he couldn't hide very well. It wouldn't take a detective to note that glint of sadness in his eyes that day, even if his expression seemed to be the same stern look he always carried.
In addition to that feeling of loneliness he had without Almarei around, he'd noticed ever since he woke up at the crack of dawn that his eyes weren't quite right. He'd chalked it up to inadequate sleep, something he was quite used to as it was, so he'd thought nothing of it and went about his day. With his vision as it was, he thought it best to skip his magic training in the Fayren fields for the day and chose to explore the other cities. But between being absent minded and his eyesight, he found himself nearly bumping into people a few times, much to his annoyance. It wasn't their fault, it was his, so he made a point to stop and tip his hat, apologetically bowing his head slightly to the person.]
I beg your pardon.
[At least he had no trouble getting across streets safely. Thankfully.]
[Everglade - Night]
[Once it was coming on sunset, he'd gone to Everglade to serve his duty as a Ranger, but it wouldn't be long into his trek amidst the city when he realized something was very wrong. His vision became worse before eventually, everything faded to black. He would let out a startled cry, collapsing to his knees in the middle of the city streets. At the worst possible time. His right hand covered his eyes, and despite them being wide open, he couldn't see anything.]
What... what the hell kind of magic is this?!
[Stay calm? That's what he would try to do normally, except he's on his knees in the middle of this hellish city, blind and vulnerable for reasons unknown to him. In this state, there was no doubt that he was a sitting duck. He may have magic, but it does little good if he can't see the target and his surroundings... except calling for help is the last thing he wants to have to do.]

My apologies, it was my fault. [He wasn't entirely certain how to answer that inquiry, but he'll be stubborn about it.] Ah, yes, I'm fine. It's a bit of an... off day for me. Are you alright?
no subject
[He had gathered as many as he could, others were just too far out of reach at this point. Once he put them in a pile he held the flyers close to his chest.]
Off day? Why do you say that?
no subject
My mind is... elsewhere, due to the date. [Not that he wanted to admit that.] Nor are my eyes agreeing with me today, as I've clearly proven, embarrassingly enough. I can offer payment to cover what I made you lose.
[Yeah, they're just flyers, but that doesn't mean he's gonna be a dick about it and not offer to cover 'damages'.]
no subject
[Nothing too bad at least. He just chose to pick the brighter side of things for that particular kind of thing.]
But... that sounds worrying about your eyes. Maybe you should get checked out.
no subject
If you're certain.
[He shakes his head then.]
I'm sure I'm fine. Unless bumping into people starts becoming a normal thing, I'm sure it'll simply pass.
[Of course, if it were his sister telling him to get his eyes checked out, he'd do it in an instant... but without Alma around to scold him, he'll be as stubborn as he always is.]
no subject
[She paused for a moment, finger lightly pressed up against his chin. He hoped something like that wouldn't become a normal thing for them.]
Well it's not normal unless you need your eyes checked for glasses or your going blind. [A pause.] Or this world did something.
no subject
I highly doubt I'm going blind. [He seems particularly unamused at that comment. Probably because he had someone else imply that earlier that morning.] ... But you say the world itself can do something? Is such a thing a common occurrence in this world?
no subject
It is as fair as I know and I've been here a while. I mean it's not like a monthly thing, but things still happen now and again, if that makes sense.
