Aabria Iyengar

Can I use my listen ability?

Say more.

I have an ability called listen that when I am speaking to someone, I can...

have them regain my charisma plus level grit.

Oh.

This requires a relatively safe environment, a quiet room blob, empty saloon office.

Listening only works once per day on the same person, but you can listen to up to three people per day.

Z regains six grit.

Oh.

What does that feel like?

Well, I think that listening, I really don't want this to be that Excelsior says something that moralizes yada yada or condenses.

The ability is called listen.

It really is just like you're gaining something because you were given space to speak, right?

So I think that it's literally just as the Gherkins come out and our two companions rejoin us, I'll just look over at you and say, thank you so much for sharing your experience of your family.

It's a point of connection with my own experience that I would not have expected someone outside of the arena to understand.

The worthiness of a soul is a project that many have dedicated themselves to measuring.

And yet no examination exists which can fairly measure that worth.

You talk of the history of your family.

The opportunities for greatness were not given equally.

And I share that fear that I will not be given the opportunity to show the merit of my own soul.
