Exactly.

[Need's a bit disappointed that this glint of a sense of humor is gone as quickly as it had appeared. Well. You can't force this kind of thing. She's already waiting for a good time to ask Celehar about the upcoming choice, and that's probably not condusive.]

Witnesses burn out. [Need says it exactly as if she doesn't get that there's a pun there.] That's a bit familiar. Were you already sworn when you started hearing them?

We're born with or without potential for various gifts, but, ah, it's buried, you could say. Very hard to know it's there. For some it's a shallow burial, and they start showing as children, or it breaks through as they're becoming adults. Then, use and training uncovers it the rest of the way. For others it's buried deeper. If it ever emerges, it's all at once in a moment of trauma. That usually gets this person out of immediate danger, but - it's got its own problems.
