bonded by love, not by blood

[grandsword]

in a world ruled my magic, and lorded over by it's users, in a derelict part of a small country town, lay an orphanage. within, watched over by the cruel, militant matrons, were those without so much as a family, and those disowned or disavowed by their kin. some were even both, discarded by the more bigoted or less morally minded magical familys for reasons outside of their control, before they were even old enough to understand, or object. one resident of this place, this home of the forgotten and cast aside, named Jacob was laying on his bed, pouting. "stupid matrons an their stupid blindfold rule.." he muttered, idly scratching at a blindfold the matrons had forced onto him due to..well, a bit of a problem he'd caused. see, Jacob had special magic. he wasn't exactly sure how to control it, but..if he looked someone straight in the eyes, and focused he could do things. and, even under the blindfold he could see fine. but they had it on him because he'd caused a kid who was bullying him and a friend to drop to the ground in painful spasms, clawing at his own eyes.

A child peaked into where Jacob and given the girls dress either a new resident or the girl is with a parent thats looking to adopt''Hello. My names Jeanne,are you Jacob? ''The girl greeted and asked Jacob in a tone Jacob would know from the children of adults less morally sound,the type of tone and manner of speaking like afraid or meek

Jacob looked straight at Jeanne, and sighed. "i'd say no,but then i'd get slapped for lying." he muttered. "..so..you a new kid..or..well, you have to be a new kid. nobody adopts the witch-kid with the freak eyes."

''Mother wishs to adopt you''Jeanne spoke but when she was close enough whispered a warning''Be careful around mother if she adopts you shes not morally sound''

[grandsword]

"...well.." Jacob looked around, making sure no one was watching. "..make sure she doesn't find out about why the blindfold's on..and I might be able to help."

As if on cue a rather boorish looking woman was quick to get Jeanne having hoped to prevent Jeanne from being with those the woman sees as beneath them as kids with magic may be better then those without magic the woman still sees this places residence beneath them

Jacob played his part, looking towards the woman. though he looked in such a way to feign looking towards the sound, rather than seeing her.
