Oliver is surprised to discover that Rachel is a very talented Legilimens.
“It’s something that we were taught, at my old school.” And she tries to leave it at that.
But now Oliver’s curiosity is peaked; especially now that he knows exactly how she’d been able to respond to his brief moments of silence the last few weeks. Therefore, he asks for what reason.
She looks nothing but sheepish and tries to avoid, but one look at him and she knows that he won’t let the subject drop. “We lived by a different set of rules in the states that you all live by here. That and we’re taught to be able to use our magical abilities openly in society, even with Norms. Uh, Muggles, whatever.”
His pointed look urged her to continue.
She rolled her eyes at him, “Look,” she sighed. “There is a lot of business in psychics and palm reading, fortune telling, entertainment. You’d be surprised, some special effects departments? Use magic,” she grinned, but when she realized that she’d lost him it fell.
After a moment where he stared at his desk with furrowed eyebrows, he looked at her, “So what you’re saying is you’re trained to be able to exploit people’s secrets and to play on their emotions, for profit?”
Rachel blanched.
“That’s exactly why you left, isn’t it.”
The color returned to her face so rapidly he thought she would faint. But she stood and spun on her heel to escape.
“I can see why you hate your second sight.”
She stood at the door for a moment, her back to him as she seemed to contemplate staying or leaving before she reached out to yank the door along its hinges and storm down the hall.
