She shuffled after him, glancing around again. Two gods in one night. That probably wasn’t a good sign.

He focused on walking. He knew where he would end up, both on a level of common sense and on a factual level. It was disconcerting--He never thought he would ever stop wanting to know things, but now he desired nothing more. He wanted a quiet mind.

"Like I told you. He said everything. But..." He dragged up the voices again. "He said I was to know the truth, specifically."

"I can sort out lies from truth," he said with a shrug. "And unfortunately I know everything about everyone, but only if I concentrate hard enough. Which is increasingly difficult."

Ky blinked, putting together what he’d said when he was still loopy. “You… when I touched you…” she glanced at him warily. He’d seen everything? Every emotion? Memory?

"Don't do it again," he said simply, and wrapped his arms around himself self-consciously.

She furrowed her brow and shoved her free hand in her pocket, feeling violated even though she knew it wasn’t his fault.

"I didn't get much," he said after a moment. "If I think about it I can remember, but it was just a flash. I've been making a conscious effort not to, for your sake."

“…thank you.” She blushed and glanced away. “It’s… whatever.”

Gaius kept walking, still feeling nauseous and addled. His tongue and hand still hurt and his head wouldn't stop throbbing. Was this headache permanent?

(*tries to do reading for class*
*gets sidetracked because a painting in the article has similar subject placing to another painting*
*discovers they were painted by the same person*
I'm too distracted by how bizarre this is)

"I can't see the aura, no. But I'm essentially a human library. Everything that's ever been said or done, I can access. I know. And the future is--it's incomprehensible. Expansive, infinite. I don't even want to look very far ahead. There are too many branches." He shook himself. "Point being--I can simply call to mind the information I wish to know. And if I ask someone something, I can fact check against my own knowledge. Does that make sense?"

(Dang! Good eye lol)

“…Not really. But kind of. I guess.” She was quiet for a moment. “Like…” she thought. “The curtains in my house on my farm were blue and we had a wooden floor.” She glanced over at him. The wooden floor was true; they hadn’t had curtains though. “You know whether that’s true?”

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
