Wandering Eyes
When her children could open their eyes Ayame was grateful. The eldest daughter had blue eyes, the son had green, and the youngest had gray. “Watch Mama, okay?” she said.
Two pairs of eyes followed her movements exactly.
But the third…
Their runt’s eyes wandered directionless.
Oh no.
Those gray eyes would not focus.
It’d be best to confirm it. She went to go see Takara.
“You’re runt is blind,” Takara said.
“Blind?”
“Yes. It’s common for the runts of litters to have… complications, small size and sense loss sometimes occur. I tried to have the midwife warn you about keeping your runt.”
Ayame stroked her daughter’s fur. “It’s alright. She’ll be fine.”
“You cannot protect your daughter from the cruelties of this world. Even if she is the daughter of the chief, others will notice her blindness and insist that she is weak.”
“We’ll prepare by making her other senses strong.”
“You are too idealistic. “
“I don’t care!” Ayame snapped. “We’ll make it work. She’ll be strong, just in a different way.”
“I wish you luck with that, Lady Ayame.”
Ayame stepped out of Takara’s den.
She had to tell Kouga somehow.
