Valentine stepped close to Osric. “What’s this Steward’s name?” “Cordelia. She probably isn’t using the eyes at all, but just in case, don’t look at her if you can help it; she struggles with eye contact.” There were humans who struggled with that too, and Valentine imagined how hard it would be for a Steward with massive eyes to avoid people’s gazes. He quickly pulled his own away. “Do other humans here know that?” Osric smiled. “You’re concerned for her? The ones who use the subway regularly know.”
Cordelia has very little page time, but I've seen people wonder if she is written as neurodiverse because of the eye contact issue. And yes, that was my intention.
