Can you describe what those are? It's reading as a foreign word to me. We have things like, um. [for a moment he goes blank, searching] Thoughtsensing, Empathy, Fetching...

[patronsaintofliars]

Telepathy would be thought sensing, or—being able to talk in peoples' heads? Empathy I would recognize as being able to sense peoples' feelings, I guess in a magical way? Telekinesis is moving stuff around with your mind or with magic . . .

[she worries at her lower lip]

The thing is, we all sort of generate our magic and abilities in different ways. If the magic you're familiar with is more, ah . . . psionics? In nature. Mind magic. Then I have a friend I could take you to that might be able to help more.

[trying not to sweat bullets too much about being passed around and poked at . . . why . . .]

[. . . but still . . .]

Whatever—you think is best to get this figured out.

[abardacttofollow]

[squeezes his hand] Thank you, Lark. I got a weird memory, I'll tell you later, but I saw what it was like to be inside something like that and it's no fun from that side either.

[patronsaintofliars]

I could, uh. I could look at that memory right now if you want me to? While we wait to see if my friend can help.

[she's also ring ring ringing the Kimmie phone]

[twicebonded]

If we—go find a bubble you mean?

[abardacttofollow]

Oh. Yes, okay, if you're sure? I don't want us to get distracted but... If it'd be useful info to see what it looks like...

[patronsaintofliars]

I can also just . . . look . . .

[abardacttofollow]

[....vaguely tries to remember the tylendel fit memory without adding too much editorial commentary to it...]

[patronsaintofliars]

[she immediately looks confused. shaking her head after a moment to clear it.]

. . .

. . . Kimmuriel says it's okay to go meet him. He's at Hen House. Just this way.

[starting to lead that way]

[twicebonded]

[. . . grabbing onto Stef's hand tightly but following after]

[abardacttofollow]

It's going to be fine, dearest. I promise..

[twicebonded]

[oh. that's gonna distract him good, yeah. he straightens up!!]

Oh—

[abardacttofollow]

[smiles shyly aside at him] If Lark thinks this person can help...

[patronsaintofliars]

[watching them fondly]

. . . I do. You actually met his husband already, I think?

[knocking at Hen House's door. or, lifting her hand to do so, at least. who knows if Kimmie's gonna be weird about this.]

[psionicmolotov]

[ He does let her knock before opening the door, at least. He allows that much courtesy.

He is, however, opening the door via psionics rather than with his hands, so he's in one of the sitting room's chairs with a book. He glances over all of them, his gaze sharpening at the two strangers. ]

Who will I be inspecting?

[abardacttofollow]

Oh! You're Jarlaxle's husband? It's a pleasure to meet you.

[gently nudges Van forward] We think he might have mind magic and we want to make sure he's shielding properly, if so?

[twicebonded]

[tenses up slightly but trying to not Show Fear in front of Stef. unfortunately,,]

. . . ah, yes. I—want to know what's going on. And how to not hurt anybody by accident.

[patronsaintofliars]

Also hello, Kimmie.

This is Clef, and Lyric.

[psionicmolotov]

[ Oh, it's Lark. Kimmie phone picks up. ]

Yes?

[patronsaintofliars]

Hiiii. I have someone who thinks he might have, ah, some kind of uncontrolled mind magic maybe? Can I bring him by Hen House to get you to—see if you can help us figure out what we're dealing with? It's beyond my ability to figure out.

[psionicmolotov]

Very well. Bring him when you are ready. I will inspect him.

[ He'll be waiting outside Hen House when she does come by. ]

[patronsaintofliars]

Thank you~ ♥

. . . be gentle with them, okay? They're very nervous.

[psionicmolotov]

I suppose that unidentified psionics would make one nervous, if they were not trained to them. Fine.

[ Begrudging tone to that. He'll do it for you, Lark. ]

[patronsaintofliars]

[she's not very good at complex psionics yet but somehow she is managing the mental equivalent of bonking you with little hearts ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥]
