Uncomfortable with the silence, Rayvyn looks around for something to do. Her eyes land on the snacks. "More..." What's the word...? "Food with more...substance will help you more. I will be back." She turns and heads towards the kitchen.

He still displayed no emotion, his disposition slightly unnerving.

Marilyn watched Rayvyn go and then motioned for Tacien to come sit next to her,

Tacien chose to stay with Marilyn, sitting down next to her.

Wow, I didn't even see that last post and it lined up perfectly!

EmLee was sitting in the dining area, eating a plate of pancakes piled with fresh berries, swirling a strand of Starlight around her fingers.

Marilyn offered Tacien some of her snacks without saying anything.

That's a nice poetic image.

Rayvyn froze when she saw her. No, I am a patron here to. I can be here. She steps into the room. "Hello, I was looking for food."

“Oh, hi there! There’s some food in the kitchen. I just sat down to eat myself- not actually consume my own flesh, but consume food- y’know, nevermind! Well, anyway, if you’d like to join me you can!”

Rayvyn blinked at the flood of words. People here talk so much! "I...I was getting food for a friend who is not well. If you would like to join me, you may." She glances at the Starlight (?) "What is that?"

“It’s my magic stuff, in simple terms. In more complex words, it’s the light from stars in tangible form. It lets me do stuff like create things, heal people, interact with plants and animals, and sometimes even read minds. Other Starbound can do other things with Starlight like teleport, grow stronger, and basically do anything you can think of, with enough practice.”

A thought strikes Rayvyn. "We could use some mind reading, actually. Would you mind coming up? I can wait for you to eat, if you like."

Ok I realized something...I won't be able to get on at all tomorrow. So I guess just assume that Rayvyn goes along with the junkyard group and is sulking or thinking, not doing anything important to the group.

“I can totally come! And no worries about the food, I can eat fast- I’ll just shove it in my face on the way to wherever we’re going,”

"All right," Rayvyn says, leading the way back to Marilyn's room, where she opens the door.

Shoving the pancakes in her mouth, EmLee follows.

Tacien looked up at the pair, expression still intense yet emotionless.

Rayvyn smiles at him. "She can read minds," she explains. "She may be able to tell us what you are thinking."

EmLee bent down to be more on his level. “Hi, I’m EmLee. With your consent, I may be able to read what you’re thinking. No guarantees that it works, though. It wasn’t one of my focuses when I was studying my powers. Do I have your permission to try this?” She smiled reassuringly.

He gave no response, instead watching her with the odd, intense expression. His eyes seemed to change color every time she looked at them form a different angle.

"I think his coming over was a form of saying yes. He can't really communicate." Rayvyn says.

“I see. Now, what I’m going to do is put some of this-“ she summoned some Starlight- “in your head. And don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it sounds. It’s just a form of undefined magic that I can then kind of harness and transfer my consciousness into your brain, if that makes sense. There aren’t very good terms for it, so I’m not explaining this in the best way. This process works best if we’re both sitting or laying down, though- it can be a tad disorienting.”

He sat down.

EmLee sat in front of him. She took a deep breath, summoned an orb of Starlight. She moved the orb to Tacien’s head, and it seemed to slide through as if it was a ghost until all the light was covered by his skull. There was a faint glowing aura surrounding his head. EmLee closed her eyes and entered his mind.

What did she see, if anything?

Upon entering his mind, EmLee saw nothing. Nothing at all. Somehow, his mind appeared to be entirely devoid of thought and emotion. Then, something strange happened. Like a ringing of the ears brought on by a sudden silence, a painful yet almost intangible sense of compression came upon her, slowly growing in intensity.

The pain was… well, painful, yet it didn’t deter her. She was determined, so she tried to ‘push’ deeper into his mind.

All it seemed to do was make the pain worse. Tacien's mental space remained dead silent.

She might get a result if she pushes very far, but it would be ludicrously painful.
