Just your name, huh. [And doesn't that sound familiar... though he'd found out more about himself eventually.] Mmm? Oh, that's just the way I am. [Which isn't much of an answer, he knows.] Some humans can; I'm not unique. It's on the rare side, but... there's people out there like me.

[He eyes the boy for a moment, speculatively.] I'm surprised you've never run into one of us before.
