Rallyn Loddry
Rallyn watches Keith go for broke with Charlotte and grins as he is apparently successful.
Well that was friendly. Karenia laughs.
Looking back to Ellie he goes on, "Oh this? I'm just trying to catch up. I pull double duty around here as a guard in Drell and a student so I'm often missing lectures working. I'm working on something in my minor."
Rallyn does his best to paraphrase his professor, "Apparently our own innate qualities determine our level of potential in each field. For example, my own physical health allows me to manipulate physical forces easier than say I handle more mental aspects like telepathy."
"Me being somewhat of a natural introvert, I decided to minor in telepathy to train myself to be more outgoing. But this, "force of personality stuff" is killing me. I think I'm so used to 'See Stump', 'Move Stump', that imagining the more abstract concepts is difficult for me."
"That make any sense at all? Maerath is better at this, I swear that one is like a sponge. He hears something once and he can not only repeat it back, but he can give you the 'why' of it as well."
"And he's one of the arcane students," Rallyn grins, "He's not even in our field. That one has read more books than I care to imagine."
Ahem. Rallyn? Shut up. You've got to give her a chance to talk too.
But you said I should be more talkative last time...
I'm the part of you that's best at this remember? Hush now.
Rallyn is quiet for moment and tries to size up Ellie's reaction, half to himself, half to her he mutters wryly, "Your psicrystal ever tell you to shut up?"
He grins and spreads his hands, resolving to not be so longwinded.
