As the dynamic duo of Jason and Danny made their way through the forest, Jason; in an attempt to 'soothe' the uncomfortable sensation building in his core, began to gently circulate his mana over his 'injuries', as to hopefully treat whatever it was that damaged. Because unfortunately, just knowing now that it wasn't just a normal leak didn't start a new skill according to the system (as Jason immediately checked it). However, as he attempted to circulate his mana, he began to feel the sun's scornful gaze bearing down on him. He tried to ignore it, but it just seemed to constantly become worse and worse.  Based on what [b][Mana Sense][/b] had told him the light [color=red]rejected[/color] his being, causing it to burn him.

Did this mean the world itself was trying to reject him? To spit him into the void that so greedily clutched at his soul? Well, in a way, that kind of made sense didn't it? The sun was a big part of the world, and as much as he wanted to hate that giant shining sphere that seemingly wanted to burn him away... He just couldn't bring himself to. Pausing his efforts to preserve himself, Jason sat in a shaft of sunlight as he looked up at the golden sphere. He gave a defeated sigh as he activated [b][Guidence][/b] [color=darkred]"Look, I'm just a man. And as much as I hate to admit it--  I make mistakes. I don't know what I did that pissed you off, nor do I expect you to care what I say... But for what it's worth--"[/color] Jason confessed, nearly choking as he forced out the final few words that seemed to go against his very nature, [color=darkred]"I'm sorry."[/color]

The moment he finished, Jason immediately retreated back to the shadows. He wasn't expecting a response.  It was at that point that he heard Danny pipe up. Swirling through the air like a living cloud over to his friend, gently touching Danny's shoulder with a pseudopod, Jason activated [b][Mana Drain][/b] to recuperate his mana to full. However, if at any time Danny would try to pull away, Jason would let him.

Stretching out a second pseudopod, Jason pressed its misty tip to Danny's forehead. Carefully and deliberately he gathered a thought, and focused on the 'invisible connection' he knew to exist.  He had done this before. He [b]remembered[/b] the feeling of the exact moment he succeeded in using [b][Telepathy][/b] on Ed for the first time. He [b]remembered[/b] all the telepathic connections he'd once had with the other reincarnators. He [b]knew[/b] the one he once had with Danny; how it felt, how it functioned, how it was accessed. Confidently, Jason suffused a thought with mana, and used [b][Telepathy][/b]. Not the skill-- but the technique that he remembered.

[i][color=darkred]"That's excellent news Danny! Can you hear me now?"[/color][/i]
