It's Gilbert's turn to stiffen, then, freezing against Liir's shoulder for a split-second before he sits up and edges away. The wash of empathic sensation coming off the boy he'd intended to tease is more and different than he'd expected. It stretches out towards something absent, too distant to identify.
It is all far too familiar, and it rather ruins his plan to tweak Liir's nerves with his powers. Instead, he stands, brushing off his pantlegs while watching him with a small, stung frown.
"It's what I do, after all." He's not bothering to retrieve the book he's left lying where he was crouched a moment ago. The library can count it as missing, for all he cares. "Some other time, though. I believe I've had enough Bible study for today."
