Sun Mote Copse Time and time again

She winced a little when Fen told her she'd been able to see once. She imagined that made it worse, although Sugar couldn't truly comprehend what it was like either way. She had lost her vision due to overly bright conditions a few times, though only for a few minutes at a time. The thought of being in the dark forever made her insides feel a little tight, as if there wasn't quite enough breath in her lungs.

When Fen mentioned how a guide was most helpful, Sugar immediately wanted to leap at the chance. She let her cousin finish first, making herself pay attention. It impressed her that Fen could manage on her own like that, somehow navigating a world she couldn't see at all, and despite her willingness to offer a helping hand, the younger of the two found herself lost in thought for a moment.

She caught herself and shot Fen an apologetic glance out of habit. When she remembered that the other girl couldn't see it, she cleared her throat and said, "That's so neat. Sorry, I was trying to wrap my head around it." Sugar paused, then added in a quiet but eager tone, "I'd love to help, if you need it. I could show you around the copse, at least until you get more familiar with it, if you need it." She realized she was being redundant but, eager as she was to assist, she didn't want to force herself on Fen.
