Empaths and Mothers

[baley]

Dear Wyatt,

I've got two problems I need help with. Badly.

One - I just got the power of empathy, and it is literally driving me crazy. I can't leave my room, and I can't even talk to my sisters or parents because I get horrible headaches whenever they come in. Got any advice so I can go on with my life?

Two - I actually spar with my oldest cousin. Yes, I'm serious. Swords and all. But my mother's worried I'll get hurt doing it, even though my cousin can heal any wound I get. How can I convince her I'll be alright sparring with him?

Thanks a million -

Dear Nine out of Nine

The answer to your first problem. Empathy and Telepathy are one of the few powers that are hard to handle. My Advise it to you that you seek out your family's Magical seer and ask her to make you an empath blocking potion, which should help you with your problem and will help you control your power in due time.

The answer to your second problem. You can never expect your Mother to be alright, with you sparring your oldest cousin. trust me, I tried and its wasn't a pretty site when my mom blew my bed to pieces, just for hanging Chris upside down in the gutter, with a butcher knife attached to the end. All you can do is make sure you guys watch out and spar each other while she is not around.

Yours
Wyatt
