You aren’t sure why it’s relevant that he was ignorant of this fact, but you keep silent as he finished. “Yes. They are all fairly omnipotent, though each have their strengths, obviously. When it comes to non-specific acts though, they are fairly well-matched.” Pausing to consider the rest of his question, you take a moment to introspect, but only briefly. “Were it not Rae I might be concerned. After all it is nearly impossible to know what would or wouldn’t be necessary information to have. Not knowing what I do not know is bothersome. Not knowing what I don’t even know I don’t know, is more bothersome still. Not knowing what I don’t know that I—” You pause and blink a few times, your lips moving ever so slightly. Kai warned you about this regress the last time you started this tangent. Specifically, he told you that you weren’t allowed to vocalize any more than three iterations of it. Clearing your throat, you shake your head slightly. “But Rae knows far more than I do and I trust in their judgement.” Personal feelings didn’t really factor into it.
You consider this. “So...when I asked if I could examine you, this was not included in the permission you gave?” Readjusting your notebook, you make notes next to Loren’s name that indicate you should often and repeatedly give him a heads up.
“Presumably through the ascended technology.” You reply. “Not much is known about it of course, since Outlanders only started appearing in the last three hundred and nine years prior. In extremely rare cases they would appear outside of the barrier likely due to a glitch. The majority, like you, appeared within. “ As he asks about how it is you know all of this, you give him a passive blue-eyed stare. “Observation, research, and experimentation.” You answer. Rarely do you take testimony to be knowledge conferring; you’d rather verify things yourself.
“I used to have one, but I do not seem to now.” You supply with a slight change in pitch; one of the few indications that you do in fact feel or express emotions at all.

of course it's exhausting, having to reason all
the time in a universe which wasn't meant to be reasonable.
