A Candid Conversation

Watching the orphanage gobble up his tales of the Beast Domain with ecstatic excitement was cathartic to Rui. 

It was because he could directly feel their joy.

A part of his Martial Mind was always active.

His Martial Mind was particularly extraordinarily powerful, allowing him to perceive the depth of happiness that his words brought about.

It was a warm feeling.

It wasn't just the children, he could sense that his presence brought immense happiness to the many members of the Quarrier Orphanage. 

These were people who had grown up under Lashara alongside him.

While he wasn't entirely comfortable with the ability to peer into people's minds passively outside of a conscious decision to do so in combat, at least he had the security that his presence in the Quarrier Orphanage was a positive one.

He patiently entertained everybody, making an effort to engage with everybody one after another throughout dinner and past.
