The pixel charecters on the screen danced from left to right in their ranks as they marched down the screen with a “bip-bup” sound. The closer they got to the bottom of the screen the faster they moved causing the steady “bip-bup” to become an alarming “bip-bup-bip-bup”. If she scored a hit on the extra point ship that raced across the screen with its police like siren it made a sound like balling up tin foil, but deeper. It all seemed so primitive compared to the newest multimillion dollar game tittles that it made Candy Crush look sophisticated.<br/><br/>Mia was focused on clearing the screen of enemy’s but she did notice the movement of his approach in her peripheral vision and so managed not to jump when he greeted her. She spoke in an absent manner without looking up from the screen, “It’s more nostalgia than anything, Mario Cart is my game of choice.”. It wasn’t until she had lost her last life that she looked up from the screen and gave him a once over. She found herself smiling inspite having just met him. It was the silver hair, she had to resist the urge to comb her fingers through it. There was no way it could be a dye job, it had to be real despite never having seen anything like it. With the cane and the sunglasses indoors at this hour she could put two and two together and assume his condition but not it’s severity. She found her mind straying to her perfume, could he smell it, was she wearing to much,... did he like it? That last thought threw her for a loop. Was she considering this random blind man as a prospect? This was all running through her mind as she spoke adding a warm tone to her voice, “I came in looking for some comics and got distracted. My friends call me Mia.” She stuck out her hand in greeting causing the charm bracelet on her wrist to jingle and immediately had second thoughts. She couldn’t decide if the gesture was somehow rude considering his blindness and in this skatter brained fashion instantly chastised herself for feeling insecure about greeting a stranger. She would stick her hand out and if he couldn’t see it well then fuck it.
