"Well, I guess some people want to be treated like they ain't any different, so they tend to get a little uptight when someone points out their differences," the ship's captain replied with a shrug. "Far as I'm concerned, though, whether you're a telepath or not doesn't make much of a difference. Makes you stand out more than the rest, but that's about it. Yeah, I'm satisfied."

"Thanks," Mal said with a smile.
