Count Paradox

needs karaoke ponies.

Erm. Hello?

Psych had just simply been... Following. That was all he could do was follow. So much was going on in his mind. The fact that Lilith had been under Sombra's employ, her story about her youth, how she left Sombra to join this tiny group... He still didn't know if to fully believe her or not, but he felt that she was a good pony... He wouldn't risk getting her in trouble with the rest of the group, or even worse, killed because she was marked as a traitor, especially if she was on their side. So, he decided to keep it to himself, to not reveal it until she herself was ready to make that step. And if it seemed to the others that he was witholding information and endangering them, well... He would deal with that when the time came. For now, he would still mull over the information, still stuck on autopilot, following close behind the group.

Noooooo, the three I was rooting for all died at the feast! XD

When she had turned around to him, her knife at the ready, she saw him hunkered down a bit, nervous, scared even. To think that they had always had direct contact with somepony from Sombra's ranks... So many terrible things flashed through his mind, each one worse than the last. And yet... If she were there to hunt them, to kill them, wouldnt she have done it already? And it did seem to him that during her inner monologue, she said that she had left Sombra's army. He built up his resolve, still talking through their minds, not wanting to give Lilith's secret away unless absolutely necessary. Walking nect to where she was and sitting, he mentally asked her, "So... Is it true? Were you once part of Sombra's army? Or is that something we still have to fear?"

Psych had sat back as this new outburst unfolded, this time from Lilith. He understood her anger, her frustration, but he also understood why the ponies who were following them, well... Followed them. He waited for a moment, after Lilith had stalked off and Star had begun to tend to the wounded oride of one of the tag alongs, and then stood, deciding that Lilith was in need of a soundboard to vent her frustrations to. Sneaking off as well, he climbed the cliff she had ascended as quietly as he could, muffling his hoofsteps, but still not silend enough to get past Lilith's ears. As he approached from behind, he stopped a few steps back, then opened up his telepathic link with her again, knowing it would be better than verbal communication. "Hey, Lilith... It's me, Psych..."

@Randimaxis It took a few moments for Psych to fully realize the extent of what exactly was going on, but suddenly, it occurred to him; his abilities had been sharpened, honed to a degree that he had never even imagined to be possible when he began his training all those years ago. It was as if, instead of just communicating with the pony, he was there with them, in their mind, living all of their memories again with them. As their memories were explored, he began to get a feel for the ponies, what they needed, and who they were. The realization that they were friend rather than foe (coupled with the shock of knowing Sword's... Condition) made him quickly snap out of the link, and he quickly stood, running to the edge closest to Lilith and shouting, "Wait, don't injure them! They're other companions from the group we left behind!"

@Randimaxis @Stardust* @-Octavia- Psych understood what he had to do, and quickly searched for an optimal place to view everything. Finding a nearby small hill, he quietly scaled it, crawling forward and only going as far as his sight needed him to. Getting ready to spread his sight, he was interrupted, frighteningly, by something that sounded like a buzzsaw. It made him jump back, only barely catching himself before he would have rolled down the hill. He was getting in position again, when he heard another fiasco happening down below. Quickly, he spread his sight, and watched as the rather humorous events unfolded. Surely, guards sent to fetch them wouldn't act this way by a simple startling noise? Still, he had one last objective, and searched for the pony Lilith told him bout. Taking a bit to find her, as everyone had scrambled around, his psychic sights finally locked onto her, and, very tentatively, he telepathically contacted the pony, calling out to her mind, saying, "E-excuse me, but what is it that you're here for? What is your reasoning for following?"

Psych had heard the snap as soon as it sounded off, and his head snapped up, his ears going every direction to pinpoint what it was. Spreading out his sight, he saw one of their group sneaking off to inspect what the noise was. Not wanting them to get in any danger, he quickly tried to get their attention. He was unable to get their attention, as they were too far away to see his movements, but the way that they moved told him it was Lilith, and realised he shouldnt have been so against her going off alone. Still, he would rather her not get hurt, so he did the next best think, and attempted a telepathic connection to the mare to get her attention. "Lilith, wait! I might actually be able to help you here. Let me go with you,my sight witt catch any ponies in the darkness about as well as your sight, even if they're hiding. It could give us an advantage." @Randimaxis @-Octavia- @Stardust*
