 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
As they'd suspected might be the case, Nem encountered very few obstacles, clearly less than the others, judging by what they heard of collisions and scuffles and the occasional muttered curse. What they did encounter seemed to be soft and squashy and easily climbed over or shoved aside; the main curiosity was that the room seemed to be taking a lot longer to traverse than usual. Even factoring in the darkness, which could affect spatial awareness and judgement of distance in a lot of people who could usually see well, it soon became clear that this was not altered perception but a case of enchantment. Just a case of moving along the wall until they found the second corner, and knew they were up at the other end.
Which is what they did. Maybe it had taken them longer than other students - they couldn't tell for sure in the darkness, once they reached the desks - but Nem felt certain that circumventing most of the obstacles had more than made up for going the 'long' way.
When the lights went up, they kept their eyes on Peralta. Some of these answers were not unexpected, but no less impossible to relate to. Overwhelming. Afraid. Thinking less rationally. That last one did make more sense, seeing as it sounded like most other kids had barrelled right through the centre of the room.
Nem provided an answer of their own in a flat voice. "Some senses heighten automatically to compensate for deprivation of another. Using touch is a more conscious decision. I put my hand on the wall and followed that to the other end of the classroom."
