The debate about Captaincy continued without her and Grendel was glad of it.  In her experience, it was difficult for a psion to command, it took<em>distance </em>to send a subordinate into harm's way.  And her 'kind' had enough power as it was.<br/><br/>Grendel nodded back at Max shyly.  But she couldn't help feel pleased that her own bust line was approaching the circumference of the naturally endowed true woman across from her.  That earlier psychic watermark had some power, Grendel had never been so<em>girl </em>so<em>fast</em>.<br/><br/>Something to think about later, for the moment, Grendel took a step even further back in the corner.  She stepped on a tiny shard of glass from some shot glass shattered long ago and missed by indifferent cleaning.  It would not have registered through the most marginal of footwear but it sent a small spike of pain through the soft skin of Grendel's sole.  She gasped slightly.  Had the tiny torment been transferred to others...?<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Grendel's physical sensations are being shared with those near her.  I would guess the sudden pain is also transferred, possibly even further due to its suddenness and intensity.   I would guess Max would feel the irritation in her own foot.  It wouldn't take much for the canny character to now realize Grendel is a psionic.  But I leave that to VoidKnight and LizzieV to decide.<br/><br/>Other characters might even perceive this as well if it suits.  Of course, they could keep this new knowledge and <em>leverage </em>to themselves...</div></div>
