Expressive

Possibly, Gilan's most distinctive feature were his bright, expressive blue eyes. Normally shining with light, curiosity, and mischief, you could tell how the boy was feeling just by looking at his eyes. Pure, untethered joy to mind numbing sadness, to careful contemplation, it showed up as easily as reading a heading on top of a paper. Gilan's mother had often told her husband, with a sort of loving awe, "That boy can see right into you. That boy can see your soul".

Halt had, at first, thought that it might be a problem. A Ranger had to be secretive, not wearing his thoughts and emotions on his sleeve; or in this case, eyes. A short time later, however, Halt accepted them, and went even as far as to be fond of them . Gilan would learn how to mask it, when he needed to.

Though Halt never said it aloud, Gilan's eyes, in an odd, unexplained way, made him feel brighter when they were on him, with their deep, studying look; even the times when he complained about Gilan using "weapons of the sky blue variety" to his advantage, for it was always hard to stay irritated when those wide blue orbs would blink innocently at him.


Please review... Yeah, we had a crazy snowstorm, so I'm just passing the time. First snow day for the schools in over 25 years.
