That's a really good explanation of what I'm going for. Will isn't always measured in psychic power. Even though Pulse doesn't have anything like that, Kassy would have a hell of a time forcing control on him. He's very strong willed, and extremely guarded emotionally. She could do it, but not without hurting him, most likely permanently. It's like the difference between opening a lockbox with the right key... and forcing it open. The broken box is never quite the same.

I like those ideas... I may try to incorporate them.

Also, I never picked Dimitri as blonde. ^^; He and Kassy have more in common than I thought.
