I apologize for not telling you sooner. I am used to secrecy, and I know that my abilities can be uncomfortable for people. I assure you I consider it my moral obligation to use them wisely and not against anyone unless it is necessary, such as surviving an attack.
No apology necessary. Think of it as an expression of my admiration, if anything. One could easily go through life abusing such power with none the wiser. Your restraint is commendable.
I couldn't live with myself if I didn't have a strict code on the matter. Unfortunately when I first got here, I didn't have a good grasp on my powers again. I've never lived in a city, it was overwhelming.
I can only imagine. Perhaps I keep a pessimistic view due to my profession, but city living isn't for the faint of heart, even without telepathy. More people cast more shadows, the better for those of ill repute to lurk in.
Yes, some people were foolish enough to think me quite easy pickings, considering the wheelchair. Unfortunately not everyone can protect themselves the way I can. I don't think I'll ever fully enjoy city life. I'm more under control now but when people project it's still very loud.
If you're ever in need of respite, you may find Acreage an agreeable retreat. The air is clearer there, and the people simpler. Though the pathways are rough, if that is a consideration.
