He used to use his gift in situations such as this to irritate his companions, to call them out on their lies, no matter how small. Recently, though, he left the gift turned off. He partially wasn’t interested in what most were thinking, and the few where he did let that curiosity pique, he felt like he was invading on something he wasn’t supposed to hear – his conscience was minimal, but it did exist.

”Of course you did,” is all he says, with a knowing tilt of his cerulean head. He would let her have this one, this time, but the faint smile that lingered on his dark lips said everything that he didn’t speak aloud.

”My name is Raed,” the words slip easily from his mouth, his steps drawing him closer, although he does not completely crowd into her space. He could be arrogant and uncouth, but he never had the aim to frighten anyone. Instead, he regards her from a distance, as he asks her pointedly,  ”And what is your name, almost damsel?”
