Ezra POV
I knew I needed to tell the others, but I knew they would treat me like I was helpless and they would make fun of me. Kanan was going to make me tell them no matter hat happened so I decided to go tell Hera. I found her in the cockpit flying the ship. I said "Hey Hera can I talk to you for a minute?" She said "Yeah Ez, what's up?" I said "Well you see Kanan made me try to deflect things with a lightsaber to another object. I could hit the things but couldn't deflect them. So he started asking questions. Hold up some fingers." She said "Exra what are you talking about?" I said "Just ask me how many fingers you are holding up." She said "Ok how many fingers am I holding up?" I said "Um... maybe this wasn't a very good example... how bout 4?" She said "Um no, I'm holding up 6. WAIT A MINUTE ARE YOU BLIND!?" I smiled sheepishly and said "Yeah.. And oh my Force there is a rock Hera!" She turned the ship just in time, and that gave me an opportunity to get out of all the questions she was bound to ask.
Kanan was standing outside. He said "Nice job Padawan are ya trying to kill us?" I jut replied "Shut up." Kanan said "Wait a minute, if your blind how did you know that rock was in front of us?" I just said "Really Kanan that's a dumb question how do you think I lived on the streets all these years I always have sensors up the Force tells me where stuff is duh, it's just not good enough to deflect things." Kanan said "Ohhhh..." I walked off.
The next day I heard the internal comm-speaker thing going "I need everyone to come to the kitchen I have some announcements." It was Kanan who had said this so I went to the kitchen.
The whole crew was in there already. I found a seat in between Sabine and Kanan. We all talked for a moment then Kanan stood up and said "Alright we gotta another mission. We have to go to the market on Hoth and steal blasters, ammo, and medically supplies from the Empire, but we also need stuff for the ship, so get food, parts, and medical supplies, got it?" We all nodded, Kanan continued by saying "Alright Ez your turn." "Wait what?" Kanan replied "Do I have to tell them or are you gonna?" I just replied "You said I had a week!" He just replied "It's been a week Ez." I said "Ohhhh... well that doesn't mean anything, why do they have to know anyway?!" Kanan sighed and said " Okay, fine I'll tell them." I sighed and said "FINE, I'll tell them!".
I said "I have a confession. I am visually impaired." Zeb and Sabine just sat there. Kanan said "Lemme dumb it down for you two, it means he's blind." Sabine said "He can't be blind he lived in the streets for years!" Zeb said "Yeah and how does he shot a blaster, or even walk, if I was blind I wouldn't be able to do that!" Kanan said "Yeah, but you are just an ordinary Lasat." Zeb said "What's that s'pose to mean?" Kanan said "I'm not being mean it's the truth. Think about like this, Ezra and I are Force sensitive, you, Hera, and Sabine are ordinary. If I went blind, even though it would take some getting use to, I would be able to use the a Force to "see" what's around me, thats what Ezra does." They all said "Ohhh...".
Now that my secrets out, I've been nervous, I thought everyone would treat me different, but they don't, it's like they don't even know I'm blind!
Sabine POV
Now that I know Ezra is blind I try to explain my pictures to him better, I've also been doing go research. I asked Ezra "Hey Ez, do you know how to read or write?" He said "That's a dumb question, I can't even see you! How am I supposed thread or write?" I said "I don't just thought I'd ask, but anyway I found a way for you to be able to read and write."
"it's called braille, it's like the raised dots that represent letters. I can help teach you to read it and maybe learn to write with it." Ezra said "Really, I've always wanted to read, but I've never exactly been able to do it. " I started teaching Ezra the basics and by the end of the "lesson" he could read a few words. Once he left I looked up to see if there was any way at all to cure blindness, I haven't found anything yet, but when have I ever given up that easy?
