you won’t see me fall apart
Thorunn noted the third eye the way others might note a particularly large freckle, or a stray hair blowing too close to your eye. As someone with her own facial oddity (though, granted, she was not born with it) she can appreciate the fact that not everyone is the same. Animals have various differences that mark them, both physically and emotionally, and she knew how little bearing the scar had on her life. She can't help but wonder what the eye means for the girl (can it see? can it feel? does it lend better or worse vision?) but these are questions best left between friends, not acquaintances.
All in all, a rough 15 seconds is spent lingering on the third eye that glints under the moonlight, before the other girl goes on to talk and the silence is broken once more.
"To think, I suppose. To be alone," then - quickly, so the girl doesn't misunderstand her - "Or at least initially, it's nice to share the moonlight with someone else." She means it, though friendship is a strange thing for her. Covet (daddy dearest with his good intentions and his endless lessons) never taught her this, she's learning it piece by piece.
