Lysander shrugged his shoulders when Dusti asked if him getting a new eye had made him someone that he wasn't. It was a hard question to answer, because he didn't have a lot of data. He had only gotten his new eye in January, so it had only been a few months. He had lived with both of his natural eyes for seventeen years before the accident. "I'm still trying to figure that out." He answered with a sigh. "For now, I... don't think so." He still enjoyed the same things that he had enjoyed before, and though there had been a brief period of depression, Sander had managed to pull himself out of it. And really, he was allowed to be sad about how much his life had changed. Dusti asked about hearing colors, and Lysander gave her a firm nod. "I just... perceive things differently." Sander tried to explain. It was difficult, since no one else he had met was a synesthete or knew anything about synesthesia. "Your voice sounds like rainclouds. Gray, but with a hint of blue." He informed Dusti briskly.

Dusti understood that feeling. Oh so well. So when she heard him utter those words, saying he was still figuring it out. Oh how she identified with that. Because she was still trying to figure out if not being a Flint had changed her. She nodded at the answer, unsure waht she might be able to say to that besides completely giving away how much she was relating to him right now. She still hardly knew him, she didn't need to find similarities.
His explanation of 'seeing colors' was.... odd. And made little sense to her. And his description on what her voice... sounded like. Dusti raised an eyebrow. Rainclouds. "Is that a good thing?" She slowly asked, unsure what to think.

Lysander barely registered the nod that Dusti gave him, choosing instead to focus on her response to his mentioning of his synesthesia. She raised an eyebrow, and Sander wondered what all went behind that gesture – shock, or curiosity, or something else? He knew that he was overanalyzing but his brain was desperate for some feedback, for some validation. Dusti asked him if the color of her voice was a good thing, and Sander cocked his head to the side. “What do you think makes a color good or bad?” He asked, instead of offering his own opinion on the subject. He couldn’t well say that all of his best friends had voices that fell somewhere on the grayscale, because that would just be… too intimate for their casual acquaintanceship. Sander was interested in seeing why Dusti asked a question about something that was a fact. Him disliking her voice wasn’t going to change its color, and somehow he doubted his opinion actually meant anything to her. So why the question?

This whole conversation seemed much more philosophical then it should have been. It was about the color her voice was to him. And as he asked, what makes a color good or bad? It was a hard question to answer, one that Dusti wasn't exactly sure how to answer just yet. Her gaze dropped to the broom in her hands. Sure there were colors that you might dislike or like more then others but did that make them good or bad?
Finally, after pondering the subject for a few moments she looked back up at the Ravenclaw. "Don't most people find rainclouds gloomy?" was her conclusion. She wouldn't necessarily call herself gloomy, but she wouldn't say she was a very likeable person either. She was short tempered and harsh, lashing out without warning. It was just who she was though.

Lysander just continued to stare at Dusti while she figured out how to answer his question about a color being good or bad. Her answer wasn’t really an answer – just another question, and related to her own specific situation rather than to the idea as a whole. “Some people do.” Sander conceded, because there were people who didn’t like rainy days and found them depressing. “But other people look forward to rainstorms.” Sander was personally ambivalent about the weather. He disliked anything that made it more difficult to observe animals, but the weather was a double-edged sword in that manner, since some creatures only showed themselves in the rain. “And whether or not someone likes something doesn’t make it inherently good or bad.” There had been people who had liked Voldemort, after all, and he had been a bad person in just about all the ways someone could be bad. Tying your worth to others’ opinions wasn’t a good way to live life.
