You know, I've been thinking. If magic isn't allowed here, does that mean we're breaking the law every time we use our telepathy? But even if we are, will the people here know? As far as I can see, they don't seem very... magical... here but maybe it's because they're just good at hiding it.

[There's a short pause before he continues, quietly.] On second thought, maybe I shouldn't have asked this in this way.

Oh no, a criminal. I need to report you to the proper authorities immediately.

...in all seriousness, they must have at least a little flex on it, because I can't help using the dumb power I have and they haven't carted me to a lockup or thrown me out of the city. Yet.

I guess that's true. Wouldn't be very efficient if they go after everyone for every little thing.

You can't help but use your power? Does it constantly activate or something?

[rootbound]

Mmhm. Hyperactive empathy. Very inconvenient. I'd turn if off if I could. That's going to be my defense if they do actually arrest me for it at some point.

A few people in the coven have similarly active abilities, so...I'm trying to stay positive about it...? If they were that wary they just wouldn't have let us in, probably.
