khajidont: (Jaime - sheepish)

[ Here's the thing about Jaime.

He has, for a not insignificant portion of his life, lived with another entity in his head. He's unable to escape another being having access to his every emotion at every point in time and, to boot, another being pointing out his every emotion without any care for petty things like appropriateness or tact. As someone who tends to wear his heart on his sleeve anyway, it's resulted in the complete erosion of anything even remotely resembling personal boundaries. The true nature of his heart may be a privilege afforded to only a precious few, but even others can catch onto any fleeting joys and sorrows in a way he'd never quite learned to hide.

Has she pointed it out before? Because of her empathy? Jaime doesn't think so. Or, at least, he can't ever recall it happening. He'd always thought she has remarkable tact considering the intrusive nature of her powers, particularly when comparing her to Khaji Da, cheerfully bulldozing his way through his heart with all the delicacy of a five year old presented with an immaculate, intricate sandcastle. ]


Well... you never do it to me. And we're closer than most. [ It slipped out without thinking. It's true, isn't it? Or is she like this with everyone? He's never seen her talking to anyone else as her true self long enough to tell. His teeth worry at his bottom lip. ] Or -- I think we are, anyway. So wouldn't it have come up?
