#i need to solve this mystery
Guys, I need help in regard to the Republic Commando book series. For as long as I remember, I have seen fanarts and fanfics presenting Walon Vau with gold eyes. What is frustrating, for I don’t know where this comes from and I’m usually good at remembering / picking details about characters I care for? Like, is that a fact from the books or someone’s headcanon spread widely around??
I reread a lion share of Triple Zero a few days ago and there was no information about the color of Vau’s at all and the only golden eyes are Mird’s one? But since I was reading the official Polish translation, I checked the original introduction of Walon and again, did not see any information about his eyes besides they were “slightly narrowed”.
Vau was settled in one of the deeply upholstered hide chairs with the strill draped across his lap on its back, all six of its legs flopping in an undignified sprawl while he scratched its belly. Its huge fanged mouth was slack, tongue lolling, and a long skein of drool hung almost to the floor. Its body was a meter long, lengthened by a whip of a tail covered in more loose skin.
The strill was still prettier than Vau, though. The man had a long square jawed face that was all bone and frown lines, and graying dark hair cut brutally short. Faces rarely lied about the soul within.
and
Vau, apparently distracted, fondled its ghastly, stinking head, his slightly narrowed eyes revealing a doting affection that he never seemed to spare for any other living creature.
Skirata stood to leave, and Vau gave the strill a gentle shove to persuade it to drop to the floor. It complained in a gravelly rumble but settled at his feet, looking up at Skirata with red-rimmed gold eyes. Skirata’s hand was still cupped, arm at his side, in that way Ordo knew often preceded a fight.
(like I said, the golden eyes are in the sentence describing Mird)
I did not have a time yet to fully reread the next parts of the series, just did a quick search for words like “gold” and “eyes” via electronic version and I can’t get to the roots of the problem (but then again, .pdf can be unreliable source) With is frustrating as hell so I would really appreciate the help; don’t need the exact quote (although it would be pretty nice), just need a hint which books I should closely examine.
(Golden eyes just don’t suit Vau in my mind at all I guess, this is why I need to know for sure if this true and comes from books or is just a fan-canon that somehow got so popular everyone takes as a fact? It killing me guys, help!)
