Not only did Adeliva practise her precognitive skills by accurately predicting every word just before he said it, but Goatee was telepathically reading the sentences as soon as they formed in the mad mind of the half-dwarf. Goatee had only just discovered that he could do this. Reaching out towards someone and 'hearing' and 'seeing' their thoughts was .. weird. It wasn't like doing a Sending spell, where you just got the words, he could receive images too, albeit distorted and smaller, as if they were of things a long way away. But more than that, there was a kind of telempathy; he could feel what it was like to be that other person.Goatee tuned in to Albert, and 'saw' that Albert was shifty. He was forever calculating angles, working out dodges, and estimating chances. It wasn't surprising, given Albert's character, but Goatee hadn't appreciated before what it felt like to be Albert, with all that going on inside his head.Goatee tuned into Footnote, and found a mind full of busy rhythms that all centred on Footnote. No surprise there, but as Goatee was about to withdraw, he noticed something else, something that was stirring just beneath the surface of Footnote's mind. It was something nascent or dormant. It was tied up with the rhythms and the ego but wasn't part of them. Goatee didn't know what it was.Goatee gently touched Adeliva's mind. It was a feminine mind and Goatee was suddenly aware that feminine minds are quite different from masculine ones like his own. Everyone knows that men and women think differently, but without some sort of telepathy, no-one can really understand it. Adeliva's mind was calm and peaceful in a way that Albert, Footnote, and Goatee himself, were certainly not. He wondered if all women were like that, or if it was just Adeliva.When he tuned into Tasha's mind, he got a shock."You too? Join the club," said Tasha with her mind. Then she showed him a picture of what his own mind looked like to her. It was ... it was ... inside out. He was used to seeing his own mind from the inside and here he was, seeing what it was like from the outside.Goatee laughed. His mind had pages.Have you looked at Footnote's mind? There's something just under the surface ...I know. He has psionic potential, like us, but it hasn't emerged yet. It may take a crisis to bring it out.How do you know so much about it?I have a mentor. He's called Will. Maybe he can help us both.Hope so. This isn't in any of the books.Unless they are secret books?Maybe.This telepathic conversation was interrupted by shouts from the ferry-woman. They were about to dock outside the city and it was time to gather their belongings (or, in Albert's case, other people's) ready to disembark. Their arrival had not gone unnoticed, however. Waiting for them on the jetty was a severe-looking woman who looked vaguely familiar. You may not be surprised to know that she had large knitting needles though her hair ...</blockquote>
