You barely know Evel

Jonothon.

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

aw, i think he is so cute. he's rascally. i suppose that is a strike against him in your book though

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

He's a petulant delinquent that never sleeps and his emotions are so loud.

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

he cannot be the only person here with loud feelings

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Unfortunately, no. But that wasn't the question.

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

can i ask you another one or are you getting tired of me

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[...] You can ask.

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

what is it like to go out partying in new york city

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Just [...] generally?

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

no. for you.

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[...] Overwhelming. But I've learned to strike a balance. I can enjoy myself.

Why?

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

i often find myself wondering what other people might be feeling at any given moment. i think it is only natural. but i suppose you would not understand this.

at a big party like that some people must be very high and others at their lowest low. to feel both at once must be very disconcerting, hm?

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[...] You and Emma keep me in the dark. So I have some idea.

Sí. In situations like that, it's important to [...] have an anchor. And to be deliberate about what I allow to influence me; the line between perceiving and feeling can be thin.

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

no, it is different with a perfect stranger. you cannot tell how i am feeling, sometimes? certainly you know Emma well enough to guess.

what kind of anchor? a person?

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

We were strangers not long ago, no? [...] Regardless, does that surprise you? You do not always wear your heart on your sleeve.

I do know Emma. But not as well as she knows me. If she wants to keep things from me, she can.

A strong emotion to focus on. Whether mine or someone else's.

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

we were enemies. it is not quite the same. [...] but you're right. i am not always the best at showing it. i wonder if my feelings would be loud.

and you can keep nothing from her? that seems inequitable.

plenty to choose from in your situation. are you enjoying yourself at all?

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

You would know better than me. What do you think?

[...] I can ask her not to read my mind. And she won't. But I can't keep her out.

I'm unwinding at the moment. But we'll go out again tonight. [...] I'll enjoy myself. But that's not my primary concern.

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

mine would be quiet, if i had to guess. but i do not know how or how much anyone else feels.

that is something. she taught me to open my mind to her but i do not like having her rummage around in there.

you're a good friend

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[...] Understandable. It took me some time to become comfortable with it.

I try to be.

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

i am getting really good at it though. it can be fun, to gossip in secret.

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

One of the many perks to being friends with a telepath, sí.

[...] What made you want to open your mind to her?

Illyana/Manuel

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

she is helping me look for my brother and needed to see my memories of him

Illyana/Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[...] I see.

If anyone can find him, Emma can.
