[Ushahin listens intently to the information he's given. He's never really had to ask permission for people's boundaries before. Always, he'd merely taken what he wanted from their heads. To do so otherwise would be a novel experience if nothing else. He didn't know how long he would be able to keep it up for, but it was worth at least trying to do what was right.]

I shall strive to do as you have suggested. Though it is...difficult, sometimes, to keep such rules in mind. The temptation to search out what a person is really thinking is a strong one, especially when they lie. I don't like liars.

And then sometimes I can't keep the voices out no matter much I try to keep them at bay.
