overharrowed: (was I kind enough)

This one is a long pause. He doesn't recoil. There's nothing so direct. But he's a man who, thus far, has had a smooth answer for most things, and this news stops him for a moment.

Finally, he says, "I am glad you are taking control seriously." Well. "You are not wrong that it's going to alarm people, some very seriously. Even without blood magic or any evidence of possession," though the way he frames it suggests they might keep an eye out, "telepathy and coercion are both powers that infringe on free will and that isn't going to be something most people are enthusiastic about."

(Except, perhaps, the Scouting division, but that's a thought that's not helpful at the moment so he files it away.)

"The telepathy is easy to imagine, how you would notice you were capable and that it needed control. What sort of coercion, and how did you notice?"
