she listens to wind secrets and echoes of distant star songs

art of me is sad when she says she's not a dragon, so I guess I can rule out her being a shapeshifter. I know those exist too though, so it would've been cool to finally meet one and see if they could shift into all kinds of things. I would've asked her to shift into a dragon for sure, but maybe into a phoenix too (mostly so I could see one for myself). But I guess this is fine too and she seems nice either way. She mentions seeing other dragons for herself - and ghosts?? This is the part that interests me the most. I try to think of how many dragons I've seen here, but I think the only one I really know is Fable. I've heard of many though.
"I think so," I say honestly. "There's a huuuuge one that lives back home. His name is Fable. He might look kind of scary at first, but he's actually really nice." I think back to the first time I met him and I was pretty scared. I don't think I'd want to be on him or Isra's bad side.
As I watch the lady more closely, I realize that her eyes are not looking right at me like someone normally would. It's almost like she's looking… above me? "Wait, is someone behind me?" I turn around to try and see if it was the soldier, but there isn't anyone there, it's just me and the lady. When I look back at her again, I then realize there's a cloudiness to her eyes that I didn't see before. Then it hits me - she's blind and I feel really embarrassed.
"O-oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize…" I try to apologize, but throat feels tight and I don't really know what to say. I feel really bad for her and can't imagine what things must be like not being able to see the world. I figure the best thing I could do is change the subject.
"So um, w-what are dragon ghosts like? What are the dragons that you know?" I hope I didn't offend her and that this is enough to change the subject to something good. If not, I might just keep stuttering and have to run off in a panic to find the soldier guy before I say anything worse.
