Title: Opals Pairing: Kaddar/Kalasin Word Count: 106 Warnings: N/A Rating: G Fight: 1/A Summary: Kally compares Kaddar's eyes to... you guessed it. Other Notes: The 'mortifying conversation' is from another K/K drabble which is still in progress.
_________
Opals
She couldn't help but think how his eyes reminded her a little of opals themselves, sentimental as that sounded. Unlike Jasson and Vania, Kally wasn't normally given to poetry, but after that first mortifying conversation she'd begun to associate the jewels with him, and his eyes in particular. They seemed bland and dark at first sight, but became enchanting when they lit up with some theory he'd been mulling over, or when he spoke about his garden and the useful, beautiful plants he tended there.
Maybe she would tell him that someday, if they ever became comfortable enough around each other to laugh over such notions.

Awww, this is so adorable. I love how you kept the hint of awkwardness but it's still really sweet.

This is incredibly lovely, with such an easy flow to it. I love how you've characterised them both in this, too.

I love that you've taken something that's a little overdone in fandom (eyes) and made it wonderful and new here. Your last line is so wistful and hopeful at the same time; very beautiful!

One day, Kally, you will write shmoopsy poetry about his eyes. You'll just have to hope it's better than Neal's.
