[Blaine turns on the NV and is quiet for a moment. He looks clean and put-together, not a even a stay curl manages to escape the gel he has on his head, but any one who knows him well might notice that his eyes look tired

What exactly is your ability? [ She remembered first meeting him when he believed he didn't have one - she did say it would take time ]

[mediumdrip]

At the risk of sounding too much like a corny super hero movie, I think I can move things with my mind.

That's telepathy isn't it?

[longaevus]

Telekinesis, to be precise. [ She's holding herself back from giving the distinction of why. Not the time, Helen, not the time ] How did you discover it?

[mediumdrip]

Which one is telepathy? Is that when you can read other people's minds? [He frowns a bit and thinks he should have read more comic books. Also, unsure how to answer that question.]

[longaevus]

It is, yes, although there are varying degrees - more like strengths - that come with it. Certain telepaths can only glance thoughts, others can see your memories also and there are some that can communicate with non-telepaths via telepathy, although much of that comes from developing the ability.

[mediumdrip]

[He nods, accepting that] My problem is that I'm making things shake and fly across the room when I feel upset.

[longaevus]

How well are you able to calm yourself when you are upset? [ She's going somewhere with this ]

[mediumdrip]

I've been having a harder time of it lately, but usually I'm pretty good at it.

[longaevus]

The way to help gain control of you ability would be to practise with it - it would help you to know when something may accidentally happen but also to use it on your own will.

[mediumdrip]

I don't really want to practice. I just want to stop accidentally breaking things.

[longaevus]

Unfortunately control isn't quite so simple as that. Practise brings control, along with understanding.

[mediumdrip]

I was doing fine before. It's only gotten out of hand recently.

[longaevus]

Heightened emotional states do have an effect on abilities, although they are less easy to exhibit control over.

[mediumdrip]

[Blaine makes a slightly amused sound, but it's the kind of tired amusement, like when something is ironic or when you're too worn out from crying so you laugh]

Well, I guess I'm officially in a 'heightened emotional state' then.

[longaevus]

As difficult as it may sound you need to try to calm yourself; you can't hope to progress without it. When you find what calms you hold onto it for any future times.

[mediumdrip]

[Blaine looks a little sad (because all he can think is "He calms me" but of course going down that line of thought is anything but calming right now) and then nods] I'll try. I can always try playing the piano forever.
