Anna stayed a few feet below the surface of the water and just watched him. She usually avoided the adults, but there was something about him… The children had mentioned someone who would believe them. Maybe this was him? She was debating with herself about what she should do. She didn’t want him thinking the children were liars, but she also wasn’t sure she wanted to be found.
I- I— She shook her head. “I can’t see you, Vincent. Not— not in the way you’re trying to show me.” She bit her lip. I’m blind. If you really want me to see, you could come with the children some time or you could see if you have a decent reflection in the water. I can see through other people’s eyes.
Oh. That makes sense. You can see through other people’s eyes? That’s fascinating! He smiled. That’s such an interesting power, that compensates for her eyes not working, with some inconveniences, but also some advantages. Would Father believe him? Would she even want him to talk to the others about this? She seemed to want to keep to herself for the most part. He moved back to the water and leaned down to look at his reflection in the lake.
She smiled at his excitement. The children had reacted in a similar way. Maybe she was a little bit interesting. She tilted her head and frowned slightly. She didn’t feel frightened or disgusted or anything like that. Just a little bit confused as she tried to think if she had ever heard about a being like him. That’s something else we have in common, you know. I’m only pretending to look this human.
