Of Hamilton & Yasmine
A jumble of thoughts chase each other through Crevan's mind, so chaotic and "loud" that Voltage can't help but pick up on them despite his offer to keep out of the youngster's brain. He chooses, however, to pretend that he heard none of it and responds only to the Taiga resident's spoken words. Out of the eye still facing the colt, the telepath sees him lift a hoof as if about to make an angry strike at him. His head draws back like a snake's as he wonders if the boy is truly that foolish; but then the moment passes and Crevan seems to come to his senses. Good boy. Unaware yet of Crevan's wolfshifting and fire-abilities, Voltage muses that such a strike would not have ended well for the younger male. Those secrets are quickly and accidently revealed, and his eyebrows would have been hopelessly tangled up in his forelock had he possessed such features. There was definitely more to Crevan than met the eye....he would be a force to be reckoned with when he came into maturity. The bay stallion mentally congratulates himself on deciding to work on placing himself on his recruiter's good side. He listens to his companion as he paces anxiously, nodding absently but also as a gesture of understanding. Were their roles reversed, and it was his own private thoughts put to risk, Voltage has little doubt he would be appreciative, either. Crevan asks if it were possible to protect his inner mind, and Voltage nods once again before elaborating. "Well, yes and no. You can't stop a telepath from reading your thoughts, even if you know one is digging around in your skull. That said, you can lie about it if you are trying to trick said telepath. There is no emotion tied to mindreading, only straight facts. Or non-facts. So if you realize you've got someone else in your head, you can feed them misinformation, and they won't know the difference. Or, you can choose to let them know you're on to them, and generate amusing yet physically impossible suggestions as to their parental heritage. Especially if they're within your eyesight and you'd like to see their reaction. " The question had been a good one, and Voltage mentally adds another point in the boy's favor. "Any further questions? We should be getting on to your Taiga...."
