Now, now, my dear young man, please do stop mumbling to the floor, mm?

[sweeping down the few steps from the layers of fabric and lace is this vision of a person who also just happens to have fangs that anyone can see every time he opens his mouth.]

Let's see what has happened first... Look up, darling.

[nottame]

[He sees the man coming down from the upward corners of his eyes and his mouth quirks to a grimace - and he was just called "darling", no less - but, yes, let's get this done - ]

Yeah, uh - 'course! [Jerky nodding progressively turning his head back up, front and center.

Leaves him staring resignedly, gravely wide-eyed at the owner in all of his glitz and glory. With a couple of big, hazel, still very human-looking eyes.]

[goldenbrocade]

[just wait until he starts displaying his worse mannerisms from his echoes. just wait. meanwhile, he is going to look real close at him before pursing his lips and stepping back.]

What do you see when you look in the mirror, my dear boy?

[nottame]

[PLEASE STOP. But - that's a secondary point of weirdness, he doesn't even need seconds to acknowledge.

Mouth re-tightens, pulls back the grimace - more a confused one than an awkward one.] Uhh.

[Lifts a hand, points at one eye, very slightly twirling the tip.] I. See the irises are like. I dunno, aren't they kind of really big? A-and they weren't always this color, either -- what?

[Does they not look that off from a distance?]

[goldenbrocade]

[Sorry, he may act flamboyantly gay but he is not as silly as he acts. There is a brain under that foppish exterior. Somewhere.]

They look like normal human eyes, which is why I asked if you see things differently. Because I've been told that our particular little club has a few different individuals.

[nottame]

[Another pause, brows knit.] -- Yeah, different! That's, uh.

[That's why he came in! Or - did the man mean "different"... differently?

Or is the matter that his eyes really don't appear different at all?]

What, you don't see it - you don't see what I mean? They look -- I dunno, I'm kinda thinking they look like a dog's...

[goldenbrocade]

Ah, then I think I may be able to help you.

[He wondered if the world looked differently to him as an individual, like with that one poor boy with the bird eyes or the girl with the robot eyes. But that was okay too. He can still work around that little issue.]

Regular human contacts to cover the dog look, yes? And a different color? What color do you want?
