"No, it's… it's not something you'd want to make carelessly," he agrees, the smile on his face almost a cringe at the idea of it. "Not unless you were able to control it extremely well." He takes a deep breath to move back into the comfortable area of explanations. "An empath is someone who tunes into another person's emotions on a psychic level. There are a lot of people who are empathic without knowing it. They're often dismissed as 'sensitive', but it can be very powerful and confusing. Everything varies, of course." He hesitates and then taps his chest once before fidgeting. "I'm an empath. A reasonably mediocre one, but I think it helps a lot with dreamwalking."
It's not often that it happens, but Viatorus laughs and only barely attempts to stop himself at her joke. His mouth pinches as he composes himself again and he straightens his straight tie. "I-It's only 'pretty scary' then."
"If it was I was too distracted to notice," he admits. He watches Lyra get distracted again and start headbutting Adia's hand as it tries to push her away. Eventually she flops back onto her side. "I haven't talked to them much. We only once, but they seem nice. Her mother passed away, but she has a lot of sisters, and her father, of course. They all seem very close. More like your family."
