Foresight Trance
I walk into the library, searching for Lalith. Last I heard he was in here. It only takes a few minutes before I find him, sitting on a window seat, red hair glowing softly in the fading light. He seems a bit out of it. I walk up to him carefully and tilt my head in front of his face. There's a somewhat empty look in his eyes. I start signing.
"Lalith, are you alright?"
His hands go limp, and he tilts off the seat. I catch him, barely managing to keep him from slicing my face open with his horns. I collaspe to the floor, unable to support his weight and mine. I look around desprately, but there's no one around. I look at him again, nervous. He's so still, blank faced, occasionally twitching. I give him a shake, but it does nothing. Then he gasps, sitting up sharply, eyes wide and panicked. I grab him so he doesn't slam in head into the windoseat. I tap his shoulder, sighning wildly. "Lalith, what's wrong?"
He's still a bit unresponsive, clearly still in a daze. His eyes finally meet mine.
"Sorry, were you talking to me?" Lalith sounds drunk almost. "I...I don't think I've been really here for a minute or so."
"What happened?" I ask, helping him up onto the windowseat. He blinks, rubbing his eyes.
"Sign again."
"What happened?"
"Sight." He sighs, fixing the book he was reading. "Whenever I see something, I...no one with Sight can focus when we see something. Our minds are too wrapped up with the sight to think about anything else. It's... unpleasant."
"And dangerous." I stand and offer him a hand. He takes it and leans heavily against my shoulder.
"Mind walking me to dinner?" I shanke my head. "Thanks kid."
