Oh, right, old-timey people... um... think of it, like, a painting you can interact with! Like, there's different kinds but in most of them you're playing a character. Sometimes there's a story like you're reading a book and fighting battles, but sometimes you're just chilling and taking care of plants and stuff.
A painting you can interact with?! There's really such a thing?
[Fighting battles doesn't sound interesting to him at all, but playing a character does (he's a great actor, after all), as does taking care of plants; he sounds fascinated, eyes wide, though they fail to quite focus on her. He's trying.]
I'd love to see--
[oh no HE CAN'T SEE IT. He just stops short there, his face falling.]
If... if I ever get my sight back, I'd like to see that.
[his fan flutters as he brings it up to his face, peering at her over the edge of it. it puts the focus on his eyes and the glasses, which is exactly his intent. please tell him more about how he looks good!!]
I'd never thought about wearing anything like these.
If it persists, then I may have to ask... it'd be worth trying, I think.
[pumpkin why he was enjoying himself, damn... but fine, take your glasses!! he's distracted by a thought, anyway.]
Oh! But if I can make a request of you anyway... might I have another fan? This one works perfectly well, but if I lose it while I can't see, I have no spare...
[ not that it matters much since nhs can't see right now, but after a short delay, pumpkin produces this from one of her pockets and puts it in huaisang's hand. ]
[he clutches it gratefully! the appearance doesn't matter, it's more having one on him at all times... but okay maybe it does matter a little.]
If I do regain my sight, then I may have to ask you for paints-- I couldn't quite find what I was looking for before. [office supplies ain't cutting it.] I'd paint one for you too, of course.

. . .
Do you... need anything else? Like, maybe glasses might help, if you can still kinda see...
no subject
[he perks up slightly, a little hopefully. please help!!]
no subject
then holds out her glasses to him?
except she waits another few
before she just puts them on for him herself, a little sheepishly because wow that was dumb, he's BLIND, pumpkin, holy shit ]
How's that?
[ it probably doesn't do much to help him... ]

[he squints a little behind the frames, a little distracted by the sensation of something on his face? he adjusts them a bit, brow furrowed.]
I'm sorry, but I don't think they're doing much.
no subject
They look good on you, though!

Maybe if you ask nicely, we can whip something up for you! ... Uh. If it would even matter whether you end up being able to see again or not.

Wait, so... do you want one now, or if-slash-when you lose the one you already have?
no subject
[a pause, before he admits:]
I had a collection of them at home, so it's strange to only have the one.

Huh? Why do you wanna paint one for me?
no subject
[it'd be a nice distraction from Everything Else? also she doesn't have to be keeping him company, and he kins just not wanting to do real work.]
