Seeing the wind.

Kane sat near the edge of the roof, unseeing eyes uncovered in a rare time. However, they were closed as he let the wind blow against his face. The wind whipped his long scarf out behind him, and the white scarf made musical clinking noises as the metal pieces in it knocked together. He could feel somebody's mind approaching, but he didn't move, literally. The only movement about him was his nearly white hair whipping in the wind, and his scarf doing the same.

One hand held the small black scarf that he had had tied over his eyes, and the other rested beside him on the roof. His mind was wide open, as it always was, and so anybody who noticed small things different, would have felt the presence of his mind in theirs. A tight black longsleeved shirt sat on his body, covered by a dark green t-shirt. He moved once to place the black scarf in a pocket of his jeans, then went still, feeling the wind, and thus seeing the wind. The red and white striped stick that helped him 'see' where he was going sat beside him, ready for him to use it when he decided to go somewhere.

So she'd found him. He slipped the black scarf over his unseeing eyes, tying the knott behind the back of his head. He didn't turn his head to 'look' at her, but he dipped his head in greeting. "Hullo yourself." he said in his deep, calm voice. He raised a hand in greeting to exactly where she was standing. Then he stood to face her. She had a very happy mind, he noticed, and it was refreshing. After living in a place full of sadness, it was nice to find someone who was happy with her life.

He gave her a small smile. Very small, but hiding at either side of his mouth, barely visible with the tiny smile, were his dimples. "Pleased to meet you, Miz." he said, though the level tone of his voice didn't change. Not that it was monotone, or frightening, it just didn't shift. "And I'm Kane. Kane for short...Though my sister calls me Kam...Don't know why.." he shrugged, thinking about Lex for a moment. He still needed to find that munchkin. He removed his hand from hers, wrapping his very long scarf around his neck a few more times to tame it from flapping wildly in the wind, then he placed both his hands in the pockets of his faded jeans, assuming a peaceful, open position as he continued to smile. He though, for a moment, of raiding her thoughts for what she looked like, but decided against it. It wasn't important for him to know.

Kane chuckled. Very rare indeed, but he was feeling relaxed today. "She's 16." he stated simply, though his face changed none as he heard her thoughts of the distance down. He contemplated telling her that he'd catch her before she fell, but figured that it wouldn't be very comforting coming from a blind guy. Then she asked what he was doing up here. She was awefully curious. But he didn't mind. "I like the wind. It makes me feel like I can see." he stated matter of factly, though his tone hadn't changed at all since their entire conversation.

Kane's facial expression didn't change at all, though he found himself amused. It's amazing how much people thought without knowing it. She was 17, and a twin to her sister, She wondered how old he was, but didn't want to bombard him with questions, and she hadn't noticed that he was blind. Well, that was a plus. Apparently he was good at pretending not to be.

Then she said I see, and he managed to keep from laughing. It was amusing. Or rather, she was amusing. "What does it look like?" he asked her, truly curious. He had absolutely no idea what it looked like where he was, he just knew where to stop before walking over the edge. And then, he added as an after thought, "Are you afraid of heights?"
