Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins

[Samantha McManus]

"I mean, at least she'll know it's not her fault. She does a little better when she has someone other than herself to blame."

[Toshiro Narumi]

"I can't even imagine the constant worry of cursing someone accidentally. It can't be easy. Blaming my grandpa, or even just his madness, is easier I'm sure."

[Samantha McManus]

"It gets kind of more complicated than that. We've got a sort of link between us."

[Toshiro Narumi]

"A link? I'm assuming you don't mean a romantic thing."'

[Samantha McManus]

"I mean, it's romantic at times but it's more telepathic. We just... grew together after awhile. I have it with Viv, too."

[Toshiro Narumi]

"I'd wager it's the unique combination of affection, telepathy, pack mentality, and your Morrigan-ness at play."

[Samantha McManus]

"Aye, but Tereza was worried she was feeding into me and that's why this was happening."

[Toshiro Narumi]

"I'm glad you can tell her that's not what's happening. In fact, it might be easier to remedy to boot."

[Samantha McManus]

"What do you mean?"

[Toshiro Narumi]

"Just that singling out a gene is easier than telepathy. At least, science couldn't help with that very easily."

[Samantha McManus]

"...oh, right. I'd thought it was more the other way around, but that just might be because telepathy is my thing."

[Toshiro Narumi]

"And science is mine, so I could be biased," he chuckled.

[Samantha McManus]

"Telepathy is science!" She protests.

"It's just... kind of wibbly science."

[Toshiro Narumi]

"A lot of it depends on the particular telepath. Enough that few universal aspects are documented."
