"As well you should be. But not because I'd ever offer you anything that might cause you to blow up," Amadeus teased back. Then he took his free hand and brushed his the back of his fingers along Ariel's face close to his eye. "I know it was just an offhanded comment the other day, but you made one about wishing you knew when I brought up the color of your eyes."
Leave it to Amadeus to have indeed latched on to and worked on it until he had results. "Would you want to? Be able to see color?" He moved his finger to Ariel's lips as a signal to let him explain it all before he made a choice. "There's a catch of course. I can't grant it to you permanently. Just for a while. Just for tonight. I can, of course, do it again later on but it's still not a permanent solution. It's up to you if you want to do it. Knowing after a more than a lifetime of not may be worse than having never known at all." Amadeus still recalled Ariel's reaction to having seen the sun after so long after having now. He didn't want this to be a repeat of that. Sometimes it was better not knowing.
