It's not how Matthew expected this night to go, but he finds he's quite enjoying it. There are people here that know about him now, most of the ones he's close to, but for the most part he keeps it under wraps. Dutch and Matthias know, obviously, but he tries not to demonstrate or fall into the habit too much around them, knowing they both guard their minds closely. It's not like home, where he could comfortable farseek his friends without concern.

"I can sense people, animals. Feel their minds before I enter a room, seek them out over a distance, that sort of thing." He shrugs. "The borders of the city limit me here, like static, and it's the same over water." There's no reason that his mind shouldn't be able to bypass the city, but as soon as he gets to the edge of the countryside it's like he's pushing against blacklands, the taint muffling his mind.

"I have a little coercion Talent, too, being able to control minds and the like. But I've only used that the once here, to escape KIRIN." He scrunches his nose a little, the idea leaving a bad taste in his mouth. He hadn't liked using that particular power, but he had liked being a prisoner again even less.
