The tease gets Nel giggling and she smiles to her Mum to answer with coy humor, “Maybe!” Although she appreciates the prospect, the girl thinks other sorts of eyes are possible - if her own change at all. Brown irises suit her fine otherwise.
Nothing seems amiss to her as her mother runs a hand over her hair, the contact a familiar form of affection. Her hair has always grown more quickly than her siblings, but it had long become part of her normal life with her mothers managing it through a weekly trim. Plenty of girls her age keep long hair, even if she has the largest volume of it.
“So you can see better with them too? That’s neat even if it took a while!!” she replies to the description provided by Sadie. A month is quite long to a child.
Listening as her mother poses a different question that draws more serious discussion, Nel finds she has to adjust her understanding. Echoes have been happening much longer than she realized. It’s about then that she catches on to her mother frowning while looking at her hair, and she lets her confusion crinkle her brow as she looks back at her Mum in a silent question. What is it?
