The world really is full of fools. I met a convenient fool today, a little aeri colt. I told him my name was Verity, and practiced on him as I pretended to befriend him. Steering this magic is hard, it has to be used gently, cannot be grasped between your teeth like an elppa. Still though, I picked up bits and pieces from him, nothing of any practical use beyond the exercise of picking it up though.
Eventually I grew tired of him and told him what I really thought, it was quite amusing to watch his dumb little face. I didn't tell him I could read his thoughts though, much as scaring him more would have been fun I feel keeping this to myself is more important than any petty satisfaction I would have got from telling the brat.
I have a long, long way to go with this magic yet but I have learned enough to be of use to the herd now. It is time to go home, and not a moment too soon.
