You know... Be on look out for me? [ Zack's already tilting his head to the side in confusion now. He has to think for a second because isn't it obvious? But maybe- maybe not, so after another second, he points to his eyes and it might look like he was about to poke them out for a second there. ]

I can't see a thing- well. Outside of that thing.

[deus_ex_phs]

[Well, that's alarming.]

You can't? Nothing at all? Then how'd you even know to warn me?

[heroproceeding]

For some reason, I can see them. Just not anything else. I mean.. I know you're there 'cause there's this light there, but that's it. Pretty crazy, huh.

[ He says it almost like a joke. Almost but man, does he ever feel like a sitting duck as he is. It'd be really nice to be able to see where he was going right about then. ]

[deus_ex_phs]

A light, huh?

[Kunsel rubs his chin, musing on that. Just as before, it still feels important.]

And you can tell the difference between lights that are monsters and lights that are other people?

[heroproceeding]

Nah, it's not like that. I can see the monsters just fine. But for some reason, I can only see you as this blue glow.

[ Zack shrugs vaguely, offering little else. But then it's a little hard to considering. Not like he can see much else. ] There's people that glow red, too. Every time I've run into one, it's like that time all over again where one of us gets those urges again and tries to go after the other.

Wrapping this up?

[deus_ex_phs]

Ah.

[Kunsel thinks for a moment, then ends up shaking his head.]

Let's just focus on the monsters.

[He'd rather not have to deal with fighting off anyone else. Monsters, on the other hand... That's right up their alley.

Monster extermination, huh?]

Feels just like old times.

Might as well

[heroproceeding]

Just like old times, huh... You say that like I was always getting myself blinded.

[ It's a weak scoff, the faintest touch of some old joke between them. But Zack fixes a hand to the knife at his belt, regardless, as he reaches out in the direction of Kunsel to pat around until he can fix the other on his shoulder. ]

Lead the way, buddy.

And done! o/

[deus_ex_phs]

No, I say that like I'm thinking more about just going out there and fighting monsters together.

[Maybe Zack can't see the smile on Kunsel's face, but maybe he can hear it in his voice.]

Alright, let's do this.

[And off they go on their latest adventure.]
