instead, he listens—it's what he does best. listen to the things people have to say, what they want to tell him. he absorbs every word, truly listening to magilou like she really is the only person in the world to listen to.
he's invested in this, because it's important to her, and he wants to support her in the ways he can. he may be beyond saving for himself, with how he feels about his choices in this place—but he can't let her heart shatter again, he thinks. he has to find a way to be her pillar.]
Telepathy isn't one of my abilities, so I have no way of knowing that. [it's not like anyone else would tell him—so this is a burden that has to fall on her.]
