Nocturnal by default? Interesting. Although Uryuu preferred to keep his mind ever on the complications of the institute, the place seemed to actively work to make it impossible to accomplish anything on that front. His mind could use the break and be allowed extraneous interest, and there was plenty of that, with so many hailing from different worlds. If he stopped and thought about it... he was rooming with an alien.
An alien with a persistent unique way of phrasing things. Gander bulbs made sense; like someone abusing a thesaurus to describe things.
He turned more in his seat, more toward Vantas-kun, peering at the younger boy -- trying to make out from this distance if his eyes looked in anyway unusual. Did they have or retain a tapetum lucidum? ...would they thus reflect light like a feline's? Not that he would be able to tell by looking now; perhaps if he shone a flashlight directly into his eyes.
...That would definitely go over well.
"Practically blinded is something of an exaggeration; like I said, we get by. You, of course, have an edge. Kind of them to let you keep that."
