Not being able to see made her more confident in her actions. It didn't matter if her fur was ruffled, or she wobbled in a funny way. She couldn't see, so it didn't bother him.
Looking as if she was staring at the sky, she was quiet for a while, a small smile on her face as there was a silence that passed over them. Eventually she shifted so her paws weren't flying every which way. But then one of her paws lifted and pointed towards the sky.
"See that cloud, right there? It looks like a shrew." Of course, she had no idea if there was a cloud, or what it looked like if there was. She just wanted to say something, to pass the time some how. "And that one, right there. It looks like... a crazy squirrel."
She turned her head towards Badgerpaw, as if she was waiting to see his reaction. Despite not having eyes, she still had some mannerisms of those who did. She would look towards a cat when the spoke, look towards them when she was trying to find them. They were instincts she had, but didn't exactly need. Though, she felt it made cats feel better when she pretended to have eyes and acted normal.
She lived to please those who felt she wasn't normal. But not exactly, she just avoided making others uncomfortable. She never knew exactly how to do that, but she tried her best.

What cloud? Was the first, most innocent thought that entered the tom's mind before realization seemed to dawn on him. Ohhhh... and he gave her a look that seemed to say 'seriously?' Except his body language remained normal. And then eventually that bright gleam re-entered his yellow hues.

"I see it. And that one looks like a... tree." It was the first thing that entered his mind. True, the sky was basically all blue except for a couple of stray clouds which looked nothing like any of the above-mentioned, but Badgerpaw was playing along anyways. Hopefully she wouldn't remark on the "clouds" to anyone else, lest they think she was crazy and she would get angry at him for not pointing out the simple fact that there weren't any clouds in those shapes to be seen. "It's such a pretty day, Lostpaw. I really wish you could see it." The tom mewed with a sigh, before realizing that might have sounded insensitive - but hey, he did wish she could see it! If he could have offered her his sight just for a day, he would have given it to her. But he couldn't offer his sight, hearing, or speech to any other cat.

That would be cool... he could give speech to those who couldn't speak, even just for a day, hearing to those who couldn't hear, and sight to those who couldn't see. Like Lostpaw... definitely her. If only he could just take his own, healthy eyes and give them to her.

She would look just as pretty with yellow eyes as she would with blue ones, or without any at all as was her current state. She was beautiful inside and out any way you chose to look at it. Because she was his best friend, the friend that Badgerpaw had grown up with, the friend that had always been there for him, the friend that he thought of as... somewhat of a younger sister. Or at least he had until these feelings had suddenly appeared and ruined everything. Now she was no longer Lostpaw, his little sister, and he was no longer her guardian. She was the type of cat that he was surprised there weren't others fighting to get to. She was the type of cat that he wouldn't be surprised if she were someday the most popular in the Clan. Or the leader of the Clan.

And Badgerpaw was proud... well, not really, he was more then proud... to call her his best friend. To be able to motion to her and mention excitedly that they had spent time together that day. He was proud of all of that, but most of all... he was proud of her in general.
