"I help where I can," Gideon said, "That's something all telepaths, including myself, deal with though perhaps not so obviously as you do. It isn't always easy not to take pieces of those around you or those you are fighting against into yourself. Learning how to purge those... stowaways from your mind and having a clean state to return to is one of the few ways to keep yourself intact, mentally."
"That's where understanding your avatar as a representation of your state of mind, or aspects of your mind, and how to manipulate it becomes important. As you learn yourself you can do amazing things with it, change shape rapidly in response to mental defenses or attack or to keep your mind hidden. You seem to have a firm grasp of your shape, but there's an ocean around that lighthouse."
