Alright I’m starting to see where the object reading could have draw backs.
[ He listens attentively. He’s not sure he grasps all of it, especially the world specific parts, but he’s certainly getting the broad strokes. ]
Your turn to pose an interesting philosophical debate. Skill and information as separate from personality. So you could read a piece of information I have and how I think about that information I have but not necessarily empathize with it. That seems more manageable, but incrementally.
[ He’s hitting a space he wants to be coy again. He has to slow himself down to be more direct. ] I’m honestly at a loss for words. What you’ve been through is no small feat, and you’re right, many people would go the way of my father and fall prey to fear or corruption. Not to mention the potential to just be entirely overwhelmed by your own sensory experience. Is it easier here, with it limited to touch? Or does it feel limited after getting used to the full spectrum?
[ He’s acutely aware how powerful David is. Scions, here he is falling for someone in a position of power again. And yet…he’s gotten better at falling for kind ones. He feels like he ought to be afraid of what David can do, and specifically do to him, but he’s not. He’s more horrified at how alone he must have been in very dark times. He puts a hand on David’s shoulder and squeezes gently.<\small> ]
It’s always astounding to me how much of a difference even one good person can make. And I quite understand enjoying being up in command.
