[Faolan is not normally one to address the network thus, but there has been a matter on his mind for some time now, and it has come to his attention that he needs to address it before anything worse should happen than already has. That is to say -- his mental connection with Bridei. And the fact that he has no control over it whatsoever. While he does not mind sharing in the little dragon's joys and triumphs, and even his moments of anguish (when they happen, though Bridei is overall a happy child, and even when he's upset he usually gets over it quickly). While he does not mind Bridei sharing himself, he minds sharing a great deal in the reverse. When they had come back from removing the curse from him, when he had experienced those awful things, Bridei had felt them too. And no child should go through things like that. It was bad enough Faolan had experienced such things, but not Bridei as well.

Of course, Faolan doesn't even know where to begin, who to ask about such things. And it isn't as though he can make a broad announcement about needing to know how to better shield his mind from a dragon when Bridei's true identity is being kept quiet for his own safety. It means he must choose his words very carefully. Luckily for Faolan, he has made a life of doing exactly that (among other things).]

I seek to know who among our numbers has skill in mind control and other such arts. Either in practicing or advising in them.

Your efforts will not go unrewarded.

[No one ever accused him of being a conversationalist.]

My magic.

[Oh dear that's not very clear either, is it?]

If you could call one to you. If it was a protective verse. It keeps others from using you for evil. It keeps them out of your mind when you need to be alone with your thoughts.

Protective verse. [Faolan repeats, trying to understand what it is that she means.]

Like a spell, then. Is it something that others may learn? Or is it a talent particular to yourself?

private;

[psalmed]

Yes, monsieur. Like a spell. You might learn it and we might see if it will accept you.

[That probably brings up another bunch of questions.]

Even if you are not a religious man. You might still have a verse in this world.

[Faolan shakes his head.]

I do not understand. You are right, I hold no credence in gods. But how might one have a verse if they do not have a religion?

[psalmed]

Take a verse from my Bible. Just because you do not believe in God does not mean a path has not been set out for you. That a verse will not call your name.

[Perhaps that is a bit too much faith to have.]

If nothing calls then nothing calls but it may be worth a try.
