“Interesting creatures, the Tirawls,” Jack said dropping into the tone of voice Rose recognized as his story-telling mode. “In my century they are extremely intelligent beings. They’re telepathic and telekinetic, but most of all empathic. Abilities like these are a very useful adaptation for creatures that don’t have fingers or toes on their limbs or even suckers to help them pick things up. It’s what helped them develop a written culture even though they don’t speak. Although most traditions are passed on through dreamsong.”
