[Theo nods, looking down at her gloved hands again.] Yeah. Especially if you don't understand them. Or...if people don't understand you.

...I can learn things, about people. When I touch them with just my skin. I can learn what they're thinking, what they're feeling, sometimes learn their memories. [She pauses for a moment, then tugs the tops of her gloves, making sure they're on firmly.] That's why I wear these. So I don't learn things I don't want to.

I wanted to tell you so you knew. So that if I act weird after touching something, you'll understand why. [A hesitation, then she adds, quieter:] So you'll be careful around me. I don't want to take anything out of your head that you don't want to give. That isn't fair.
