blind class, wt [★] TAKE A LOOK THROUGH MY EYES

[Keona.]

✯ — female. minnow of the typhoon. blind. rusty spotted cat.  ref. bio.

This was Bakugou's doing.  She... Didn't resent him for it... Or perhaps a small part of her did.  It was complicated, for sure.  The tiny fae had no suspected he'd request her do anything that so directly highlighted her eyes.  It bogged her.  Her stomach twisted in tight knots. 

Fact one; Keona was not upset about the fact she'd been born blind.  It was hard to miss something never previously owned.  Fact two; Keona did not like thinking about what others thought about her eyes.  There in lie the problem.  The culprit to nagging thoughts.  Butterflies in her stomach.  Fact three; Keona wanted to prove herself.  She had to be tough to make up for her tiny stature, for her sightless eyes.  But she was too sensitive.  Running from the idea that maybe they did think she was weak.  Wasn't like she could really prove them wrong.  She wasn't strong.  She was only so fast.  Still.  One day.  Someday, she'd be someone they could look up to.  A good pirate.

So, she pushed herself.  All the running about; she did it to become faster.  The climbing attempts; braver.  One day.  Still, they frightened her.  Even when she had set up her shop, her "class" on the beach.  The thought of eyes and ears on her.  Her skin crawled.  Yet, she set to work, which mostly consisted of enlisting the aide of other crewmates, creatures bigger and stronger than her, that could actually move things.  Until a good portion of the beach had turned into a temporary obstacle course, made up of scattered rocks of various sizes, as well as a number of logs and crates.

The minnow herself sat beside Tofu the Turtle statue.  Familiar, safe place.  A small basket filled with bandanas rested beside her.  "Hey," she raised her usually soft voice against the sea-breeze, tail curling tightly around her paws.  Maybe she could back out?  Too late now.  "… 'm holding a class... On moving 'round without your eyes," was that even useful?  Maybe.  Keona didn't know how to move about with working eyes.  For others, it was losing a sense... For her, it was a sense she had never had in the first place.  This was a nightmare. She'd never taught anyone anything before.  "If... If you have general questions on... Being blind... You can ask those as well." Please don't.
