Seeing Itxaro arrive, Kareet’s eagerness could no longer be contained. The need to rely on just a few, scattered words to try to communicate was nearly over. She tilted her head towards Gar’Tan. “Tell her who you are, what you can do. And I suppose introduce all of us, properly this time.”

As Gar’Tan had been formally unshackled by his handlers, he already started forming the connection the moment Itxaro came into view. The invisible tendrils of his magic lashed to her mind and set roots as deeply as they could, tethering her thoughts to his own. Yet, in all of it, there was no sensation for Itxaro. There was not even the mildest feeling of the intrusion; everything would simply seem normal, apart from the few moments where he silently stared her down while he made the connection. 

What followed did not come in words. Gar’Tan could not understand her language any more than the others could. However, he did not need them. He could read the meanings of her thoughts and memories directly, and through the tether, impart the meanings he wanted her to understand onto the surface of her mind. Her mind would put words to those meanings all on its own. 

[i]She was correct. This lizard is a S’tor, and his name is Gar’Tan. He is a Thought mage from the city of Lenkik. She might have been joking to herself, but her instincts were right. He would indeed read her mind.[/i] Alongside these thoughts, he started to chuckle aloud. [i]The others Itxaro had already met. Kareet of Arcaeda, Seeker of the Order of Sages. She is particularly excited to finally be able to communicate properly. The other is Nellara, Castigator of the city of Lenkik. Itxaro could speak her response or simply think it, Gar’Tan would understand all the same.[/i]
