[You might hear the sound of heavy, rasping breaths and stumbling feet before you see the person the sounds are coming from; Allen looks like he's been running for a while and has been forced by exhaustion to slow to a walk, though he's still hurrying along. He's holding his cane tightly in his right hand as usual - but his left is clamped tightly

[Oh sweet jesus, Miranda went through one of these too!

Now that she knows where his room is located, Miranda has gotten a small need to go and wander around the area, hoping to run into Allen... And to make sure he was okay.... But she wasn't expecting this.]

Allen!

[sightlessclown]

[oh god no not looking not looking] It's okay, Miranda, I'm fine... [except not]

[fallenkeytotime]

[Yup, too bad. She runs right over and places her hands on his shoulders.]

A-Are you sure, Allen?... You don't look alright.

[sightlessclown]

[draws a shaky breath]

... I don't feel very all right, either. I... can you help me find my room, Miranda?

[fallenkeytotime]

Yes!

[She gently loops an arm around his and leads him in the direction of his room, once there she stops in front of the door.]

Here, Allen.

[sightlessclown]

Thanks... ah, would you like to come in for a bit? I can make some tea... or something. [doesn't really want to be alone right now orz]

[fallenkeytotime]

[She nods, even though he can't see it.]

M-Maybe we could t-talk...

[Because its obvious something is wrong and worried Miranda is quite worried.]

[sightlessclown]

Yeah... yeah, that sounds good. [opens the door and leads her in, then heads over to the box of different teas and the electric kettle that he keeps on his desk]

What kind of tea do you like...?

[fallenkeytotime]

A-Any kind. I'm not picky...

[Miranda tries a new tea every day. So anything he shoots at her would be fine.]

Oh, you have one of the plug in kettles. Those are so amazing.

[sightlessclown]

[smiles a little and nods] They really are cool, aren't they? I have one in my room at home, too. [starts making a cranberry apple tea, one of his favourites]

[fallenkeytotime]

[She's also amazed how he can do this so easily without seeing. Although, she'll keep that part to herself.]

Much faster than the older ones I'm used to.

[sightlessclown]

[when the tea is done, he picks up one mug and holds it out for Miranda to take, then picks up the other, silent for the time being. He doesn't want to talk about this, but he knows he should probably at least tell her what's going on.]

Oh god, so sorry. Random vacations!

[fallenkeytotime]

[She takes it carefully with a small smile.]

Thank you.

[She wont pry, but she is worried... However... There is one thing thats bothering her...]

Why do you have your eyes closed?

No worries! ^^

[sightlessclown]

[he winces, having known that question was coming]

... It's a long story. It has to do with Rhode.

[fallenkeytotime]

[Her heart sinks and she quickly stands.]

W-What did she do?!

[sightlessclown]

[uh oh, that panicked tone comes too close to how he feels - he tries to keep his voice calm when he replies]

It's okay, I'm sure it'll wear off eventually. She can't keep it going forever. ... She gave me my sight back. But it's... wrong. I'm not seeing what's really there.
