OOC: Ok here goes for my first SSWM post... >.< SoSuWriMo: 612 words

Kemo smiled as Ralla finally became comfortable enough to talk about their religion in front of their new friend and healer. There was no reason for her to be shy about it. He certainly never failed to use the Moon's name willingly in front of strangers, it was simply a matter of fact. Little did he know the Moon would play a more pivotal role than he thought.

When he was blinded, he was knocked unconscious. The moment he had woken up had changed his life forever and it took him a while to embrace the gifts the Moon hag given him in exchange for his sight. He did, however, and he loved to hear the surprised intake of breath, the increase of heartbeat, and the gentle paw steps they sometimes took in retreat. Amazing gifts, yes, but so very intimidating. He loved it because he looked and seemed weak to those who didn't know him better, handicapped some would say, but he laughed every time he heard the word.

There were moments were he wished he could see. There were things he wish he could see, the landscape, the trees, a sunset...and of course...Ralla. He imagined she was very beautiful, white fur like the wolfesses of his pack, green eyes that shined like emeralds, and of course petite, in essence, a dream. More things he wished he could see...but sadly he would never see them in this life. That gift, the gift of sight, was taken away in his puphood.

Kemo sat patiently throughout the entire examination from the kind healer, staying perfectly still when she touched his eyes and poked and prodded here and there. He was glad he wasn't ticklish or he knew that wouldn't have turned out well, especially in front of Ralla.

He listened to the conversation being exchanged between the two females, keeping his gaze focused straight ahead. His thoughts mainly kept bugging him about the canine in front of him. Her heart was beating like crazy, but he couldn't tell if she was nervous or excited, or something else entirely. Her complete dismissal of Ralla's suggestion was suspicious as well. She didn't seem to be up to speed so to speak, at least judging from a stranger's viewpoint of course, but he just couldn't put his paw on it. The gentle gasps that he could hear thanks to his extremely sensitive ears, the pops in her back, and still that mysterious sound coming from her abdomen.

His thoughts were put aside for a moment as he returned to the here and now. "Alaine, are you sure you're ok? Your heart is beating like crazy and it sounds like you might be in pain...but of course that's just a guess." He smiled wolfishly up to her, ears twitching slightly.

Her declaration at first didn't sink in on Kemo and at first he merely thought she had stated the obvious, that he was blind and there was nothing that could be done about it. However, when his mind finally caught up to him and actually processed every word she said, his jaw dropped and his temper flared. He remained silent for a moment, unable to speak due to so much shock. WHen he finally came around, when his words finally caught up to him, all of his thoughts, accusations, confusion, and complete disbelief of this strange canine from Cour des Miracles were completely summed up in his next accusing question.

"Are you calling me a liar?" A slight but deep rumble sounded from his chest and his ears pinned back. How dare she tell him that he wasn't really blind, how dare she!?

Kemo ”talks”, walks, and thinks.
