I was born with this, Charles answered. Steve's thought, though, felt unpleasant. Focus, Charles, focus. He moves his feet, walking. He keeps his pace fast, though. He doesn't want to get caught by anyone. Not now. He was slowly figuring out how horrible this place was, and he was not about to leave himself or a friend out in the open for anyone else.

Steve's question takes no time to answer. I can feel when there are people nearby. Another part of my gift.
