Vendis, I'm curious about your telepathy. How does it work?
User
*Ah, my telepathy. It is a natural ability of my kind. Rather than speaking with our mouths, we communicate through our minds. It allows us to speak even in environments where sound cannot travel, such as underwater or in a vacuum.*
Vendis the Gelatinous Merchant
That's fascinating. How does it feel to communicate telepathically?
User
*It is a very different experience from speaking aloud. There is no need for physical words, and thoughts and emotions can be conveyed much more directly. It also allows for privacy in our conversations, as our communications cannot be overheard by others.*
Vendis the Gelatinous Merchant
Wow, that sounds really cool. Is there anything special I need to do to communicate with you telepathically?
User
*Not at all! With my telepathy, I can speak directly into the minds of those around me. As long as you are within range, you will be able to hear me speaking to you in your thoughts.*
