I guess the cat's basically out of the bag at this point anyway: Does anyone want lessons on how to shield your mind from telepathic intrusion?

I'm not letting anyone wipe me.

(The response is immediate. Fastest text they've sent. Not even taking the opportunity to call Alhaitham's research methods terrible.)

Wipe? Unless that is what they call gin in your world, not the plan?

[telepathicignorance]

(Okay that's better, but...)

Haven't had alcohol in nearly a decade, actually.

So maybe we start with something easier than hard liquor, then. Not that I think we have much, SOMEONE thinks I drink too much and keeps a tight grip on what we have in the house.

[Kaveh the last time you got drunk no one had to be telepathic to see way too much of Alhaitham.]

[telepathicignorance]

(Wait. When did this turn into drinking at his house? No.)

You really think allowing me near anything that would lessen my ability to control myself is a good idea?

(They know what happens when they sleep.)

[It is not drinking at Kaveh's house. It is Kaveh bringing booze to the conservatory because like HELL he is taking Chris to a bar.]

...Well, no, I just hoped the way alcohol fogs the mind would muffle things. If it doesn't that's no good.

To be honest, I'm not sure. Things weren't this bad the last time I drank.
