"That's what I thought at first," Jordan explained when he brought up the word psychometric. "I looked it up on the internet. Wearing gloves mostly blocked it, except for really strong emotions. But then something... happened that amplified it. A lot. That's when all the other stuff started kicking in, feeling things from people and animals instead of just objects, and the gloves didn't always work anymore when I touched stuff."

And to explain why it wasn't really anyone's fault that he didn't know how to block out emotions yet, he said, "I didn't... ever really tell anyone what I could do, besides my brother. I didn't even know there were other psychic people in my world until... the thing that caused my stuff to be amplified happened. Then someone found me and brought me to this place where there were others like me, to learn how to control it, but I was only there for a few weeks before I got yanked here."

In response to his question about if Jordan could sense him or not, the teen frowned a little. "I... don't know," he confessed honestly. "There's too many people around - I'm feeling all sorts of things and I can't tell what's coming from who. Can we go somewhere else?" He asked it with a tinge of desperation, wanting to get away from the throng of people.
