Chapter 160: Anything you say?
Inside my Mindspace, I immediately made myself towards Onyx who seemed to know what I came for as she uttered. "I'm not sure what the aura is my universe, all I do know though is that its not harmful to you, but If I was outside your Mindspace I would be irritated by it."
Knowing the aura was not harmful or doing anything to me, I gave onyx a quick peck on the lips and left my Mindspace. Upon opening my eyes, I was greeted by a pretty face and pink hair mere inches away from my own, studying me intently and seemingly not aware of personal space.
I was about to ask what's going on as my eyes had only been closed a few seconds at most, but Willow spoke first. "How did you do that so fast? That was so spectacularly amazing, can you teach me?"
I looked at Willow, though there was nothing else to look at, with confusion. "I am sorry, did I miss something? Can I teach you what?" I looked over to Kathrine out of the corner of my eye and she too seemed confused by Willows actions.
"Can you teach me how to enter your mediative state so fast? I felt how you closed your eyes and immediately entered your Mindspace. How did you do that? It takes me roughly an hour to get that focused." Willow explained. "An hour? It takes me at least two before I can begin my training." Kathrine then butted in, impressed by the pink haired girl.
Nathanos then looked around at everyone. "Why are you all meditating?" He followed his fathers traits and does not have compatibility with the Hyllus' Psionic technique so is rather confused.
"Ok." I started, trying to gather my thoughts." Willow, If you aren't planning on kissing me, can you make some distance between our faces." The girl had not realised she had been moving closer as if trying to physically get closer to my Mindspace.
It was then that Willow realised her nose was touching Apollos as she gazed upon him in fascination. She immediately removed her hands off Apollo's face and sat back in her seat, her face now red with shame.
"I-I-I-I-I I am sorry, I got carried away." Willow said apologetically as she now refused to make eye contact.
"Its alright, you are pretty so its not like it was a bad thing having you so close.
Anyway about my meditation, I am sorry I don't think I can teach you anything, ever since I've had my powers, I have been able to enter my Mindspace freely, Considering your shock at the fact I could do it so quickly, I would wager it has something to do with me being a telepath as I can enter other peoples Mindspace's somewhat easily as well." I said, coming up with an answer that is mostly true.
"You're a what?!?"
"you're a what?!!"
"What?"
Willow, Rhea and Nathanos said respectively. Willows response seemed curious and excited. Rheas response held a trace of fear, similar to how Kathrine had acted the first time, while Nathanos was simply confused by all the jargon.
The table sat in silence for a moment as I waited for one of the table patrons to ask their questions. I had taken another bite out of my food before Rhea spoke up. "What class of telepath are you? The college says to watch out for tier 3 and above."
"Ah Rhea, I would leave the College stuff aside, Apollo has yet to attend the college and won't understand the terminology." Kathrine spoke up on my behalf "He can enter my mind whenever he wants, but he doesn't do so as he respects boundaries.
The most he has done is massage my Mind defences every now and then and they have actually gotten slightly stronger since he began and-" "Kat." I said to stop her as I could tell she was about to spill every little thing about me to the poor table.
Rhea had follow up questions based on what her mother just said, but Willow spoke up before her. She forgot her earlier embarrassment and grabbed my arm with force surprisingly greater than what Rhea had shown and asked. "What is that Mind defence massage Lady, I uh, I mean just Kathrine had spoken about." Willow asked and corrected herself as Kathrine squinted her eyes at her new 'daughter.'
"My massage? It's something I picked up from my teacher. Its an advanced telepathic ability that requires trust from both sides." I said. Willow was not satisfied with just that description and continued. "How does it work?"
"Basically if I were to do it to say, well I already have done it to Kat so I will use her as an example. I would use a tendril of Psionic energy and reach out towards her Mindspace. Now a lot of telepaths would try to pierce the mind of the other and call that a telepathic attack, but telepathy can do so much more.
I can use my tendril to then massage her defence instead of attacking which can strengthen the defences over time with the right technique." I could also use it like the agitators and leave the defences exposed and slide in without them realising, but I would not say that.
Willow looked on fascinated, Rhea as well listened curiously. Since telepathy is not a common trait among humans that awaken Psionically, it is not one of the main subjects of learning at the college and so she was fascinated to learn something new about the subject.
As I turned my attention to Willow after my explanation, she looked at me in a way I could easily interpretate after spending my whole life with the hive. She looked at me with a deep hunger.
Her gaze was so intense, it physically made Nathanos uncomfortable and he was not even looking beforehand. "Please, can you use your technique on me. I will do anything to experience new Psionics and I mean anything!" She said as loudly as she could politely could in the restaurant.
I don't think she meant it in the way many perverts would have thought she meant, but the face of pure desire could have easily backed up their case.
"Sure, I can do it for you, but in exchange I want something from you." I said with accidental suggestion. Causing Kathrine to raise her eyebrow in curiosity. 'Will I have to coax for a threesome tonight?'
"Like I said, I will do anything!." Willow repeated. "Ok then, can you tell me what Psionic aura you are putting out? and why I feel agitated by it although its having zero affect on me."
"EEEP!" Willow screamed quietly and as she did so, I could feel the aura disappear from the surroundings. "Y-Y-Y You could feel it?" Willow asked in a tone that sounded like I had just caught her changing. Before I could respond, she turned in embarrassment to the others at the table and asked. "Could you feel it as well?"
Kathrine looked at Willow with confusion. "No sweetheart I can't feel anything, Nathanos?" Nathanos looked up from his communicator. "No I have no idea what you are talking about, all this space magic stuff is boring, interrupt me again if you want to talk about something interesting."
Rhea just looked at her friend with a little bit of shock. She was surprised someone could feel her ability. "You know I can't Willow."
Willow blew out a breath of relief and then looked at me. "Yes I could feel an aura, it felt it originally in the back of my head and then in the air as an aura. Every time you touch me It reappears at the back of my head as a concentrated feeling." I explained to her what I felt and her face grew red at the explanation.
"Ok Stop please!" She said as she placed her hands on my arm again. This time, the aura did not manifest at the back of my head as she seemed to be suppressing it now. She then spoke in a whispered and embarrassed tone. "Ok I will tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else."
It would be lying if curiosity had not taken hold, I had never witnessed someone become embarrassed over a Psionic ability, though that being said, my main source on that front is the hive and they have no problem showing me all their specialness.
With a warming smile I nodded in affirmation and said. "Sure I wont tell anyone, especially if its makes you act so embarrassed. Though, I don't see how it could be embarrassing"
Willow then took a few deep breaths of air and looked over the table. Seeing Kathrine looking at her with upmost curiosity, she decided to lean over and whisper in Apollo's ear.
As she leant in, I could feel her shaking as she whispered to me.
Most people she told about her power usually ran away after hearing the first part, so when she stopped expecting the same to happen, She was confused by what he had to say.
"You saying you have a unique Psionic ability is not what I meant, I have one after all. I meant what does your ability do?"
