[That isn't to say he'll like it, but being willing to deal with it for the sake of need is another matter entirely. The last five years of his life have taught him a fair amount on that, after all.]
That said, there's just one other thing you should probably be aware of before I attempt to apply officially...

This is information I'm disclosing as a courtesy and as a matter of trust. It doesn't typically affect my ability to function on a daily basis and doesn't hinder me in combat, to the point where people who can see me can't tell that I'm sightless. However, I don't want this getting back to you via a third party and for it to appear that my blindness is something I've tried to actively hide from you.
Oh! No, that's...- Don't worry about something like that! If it doesn't hinder you during your duties at all, it wasn't necessary to report. That's not the same as actively hiding something, I think... [Err.]
Ah, actually, there's a standard interview questionnaire that every new candidate needs to be subjected to. There's certain kinds of information that we- [He's cut off by a loud, screeching whistle that seems to reverberate through the telepathic link. The water for his tea is boiling. He hastily reaches out to stifle the kettle.]
Aah, sorry...! Anyway, the paperwork's in my office. I'd ask you to stop by there sometime, but... [Is there even a point to having a face-to-face interview?]
If it's a typical requirement, I can stop by whether or not you can see and hear me. At the very least, I can offer you a handshake alongside answering for the questionnaire so you have proof that I'm solid and not just some disembodied voice.

Date: 2016-03-22 04:55 pm (UTC)As I said, it's out of fairness so you know exactly what you're getting with me.
[Well, on a physical level, anyway. Certain aspects of his history Dezel will be keeping to himself.]
