"I know killing is wrong Errant and what I did before wasn't the best choice I've ever made," she says, echoes of that past rage and hate towards Faust and his cronies, seeing her friend die screaming in front of her, or virtually in front of her, experiencing his pain first hand. Feeling that bone deep grief and guilt that seemed to swallow her whole. She shook her self, pushing the images and feelings back under. "It was selfish and inexcusable and it won't bring back anyone." she glanced in the direction of the infirmery. There was pity in that gaze and understanding."I'm not going there, ever again. I just wish that Star never had to either," there was regret. She shook her head. "It's not that easy Errant, to say not use my powers." she reached her arm over to him, and you can feel a subtle wind around her, riffling the sleave of her blouse."It's always around me and if one is sensitive enough, it's easy enough to detect." she shrugged. "China has it's own mages, I've met some of them Errant." "The visions of the future I do have are unreliable right now. But the past?" she shook her head. "When they do come to me, they're never wrong. I can deliberatly let myself open to the visions, but.... they can come at anytime." she went and refilled her coffee mug. "That's the only 'unreliable' part of my postcog ability. I can't control when they will occur." she said quietly. "And when they do come to me, I can let others see as well. Most people don't have any defenses against it. And what defenses there are, carry a heavy price with them. It's not like telepathy, though it does have some elements of empathy. That's what makes it so frightening."She had to let him understand. "I can maybe show you an example. I don't make promises on what we'll see, but it'll give you an idea of how it works, at least for me." she smiled lopsidedly. "My postcognive ability is  a bit like opening a door that you can't ever lock. A good gust of wind can knock it open."</blockquote>
