Alyxia Cebrel was annoyed. Not that such a thing could be easily told by the look on her face. Her face was as it always was, calm to the point of near serenity. Her soft green eyes betrayed no emotions, at least not to those unfamiliar with her kind. To most humans, she was another just like them, just with the small quirk of having silvery flecks in her skin. She let most people think this, content with their ignorance. It was easier than explaining that she was a Maenad, a race of psychic beings that had legendary tempers. No one from this life had seen her temper, and she liked that better than everyone knowing exactly what she could do. She was intensely private and it had worked out for her, for the most part.
She didn’t talk much. Didn’t see much point to it, just noise mostly. She supposed people who lacked her gifts need to resort to conversion to learn about their world. She, on the other hand, could easily peer into the minds of those around her, learn anything she wanted that way. She found this much easier, than talking to people, not having to navigate the pesky fields of fact and fiction.
On this day, she was listening to a lecture from William. This was the current source of her annoyance, the human psion lecturing her in the ways of psionics, as though he were an expert. They had been equals until recently, both studying under the same tutor. However, for reasons beyond her understanding, William was elevated above her, their master claiming him to be the superior practitioner of the psychic arts. She brushed her short red hair out of her face, signaling to him her insolence to his authority.
