I could have sworn I mentioned this before but I can't find it with Search so I guess I didn't.
Anyhoo, I am re-reading the Farseer trilogy and I was wondering if I am right in thinking the Fool's eyes at this time are totally wihte. As in, no iris or pupil at all??
I didn't really get that the first time I read it, but this seems to be what is indicated.
That WOULD be totally weird, so no wonder a lot of people find him bizarre looking.
You'd have a really hard time trying to read the expression on someone's face if they had no colour at all in their eyes. I'm not even sure why this is.... it's not like the eyeballs change or anything.... I guess it's partly to do with the fact that pupil dilation does indicate interest etc... but that's not much to go on!
His eyes must become more normal looking after he changes , as no-one freaks out over Amber or Lord Golden's appearance (to my recollection). I haven't got to that bit yet though!
