The Group Splits ( LXIV )
" No temperature... medically speaking he's fine I suppose, but I can't explain much past that, I can't see any way he could've lost some memories which takes this into Lucinda's territories from here... however there is something a bit wrong, but I can't find the cause, then again you've all noticed, I'm assuming..."
" Huh?"
" Yeah?"
" Noticed what?"
" Kim you haven't known Zane long," Lucinda said, taking over for the weakening girl." But... look closely at his face."
" Hmm... kinda hard to see his entire face with the mask."
" Hey!"
" You don't need to see his entire face to know something is off."
" Really? What is it?"
" His eyes," Garroth replied simply.
" His eyes? They look the same to me."
" They're not-... my baby brother's eyes are naturally blue, but his eyes are green."
" Oh!... You're right, I didn't notice that before."
" I think we were all caught up in finding him that we didn't think to question it."
" To be honest, I was just glad he was back safe and sound."
" We all were, especially Aphmau."
" Zane, what exactly happened with your eyes?"
" What're you talking about?"
" Your eyes are a different color."
" They are?"
" They definitely are," Alex confirmed before thinking for a moment to see how they could prove it to Zane."... Kim, Lucinda, Garroth? Do any of you have a mirror with you?"
" I do, it's small, but it should work. Here Zane, look, see?"
" My eyes are green, that's my natural eye color."
The other three exchanged glances before Garroth cut in quickly." No, it's not! Zane, please remember."
" Look- Garroth, was it?- I appreciate you- no- all of you in helping me recover from the cold, but I don't appreciate you guys acting this way towards me."
" What do you mean?" Lucinda asked, voicing the other's confusion as well.
" Well first off Garroth over here keeps screaming he's my brother, even if he isn't screaming it he's giving me a dirty look."
" No, I'm not!... what?"
Alex placed a hand on his shoulder from her spot on a chair, to keep herself from having any more falls, as Zane continued." All I'm saying is I'd like to be respected a little more around here."
" We understand that, don't we Garroth?"
" Yes, we understand... I'm sorry Zane... I guess... something is just really getting to me."
" Well, I hope whatever it is resolves itself soon."
" Yeah... me too..."
" Okay, well, now that that's out of the way we-"
" Wait!" They all turned to look at Zane, surprised at the sudden outburst." Is my brother okay? I had gotten separated from him before."
" Brother?"
