“I fully understand that.”, Markus replied to Wilford’s apology, looking at him and smiling. It was really hard to guess he really couldn’t see anything anymore. He followed along with Wilford, keeping his cane closer to himself and listening to Wilford’s steps instead.

He perked up when he heard Mae, looking towards her with a bright and warm smile, clearly excited to meet her.
“It’s a pleasure meeting you Mae Lillian Warfstache!”, he replied, smiling brightly. He loved children a lot, and Mae seemed really sweet already.
“I can’t see anything anymore, so I need a stick to know if I’ll bump into something.”, he explained to her, before he faced Wilford again.

“I promise my blindness won’t be a problem. And if I or Mae think I’m no good, we can call you, right?”, he smiled lightly. He knew that Wilford would most likely worry about a blind man looking after a child. But Mae was already four, and he was sure nothing would happen just because he couldn’t see.
