[ telepathy..... no, turns out he didn't know this #realfact about the Thessyx. Hmmm. That certainly throws a wrench in things, if true, but he won't let it get to him - he'll just have to adapt. ]

Then, we'll know very soon the extent to which they can read minds. [ If they see right through him, that is. Illumi remains nonchalant despite the reveal, and despite the potential for him to get exposed as a weirdo who purposefully bent himself out of shape to disguise himself. ] It should provide us with some useful information.

[ That should be his course of action here, if the their telepathic powers turn out to be real; he needs to test to what extent they know what he's thinking, then. Would they know his true name, without him telling? How easily could they connect him with his disguise? Maybe he can spin this into a good turn of events. ]

I doubt anyone else on the camp is taking such measures. [ It's said without condescending or judgment, but it is true that his current impression of the Hatchlings is that they are not inclined to being sneaky and to the right of nefarious like this. ] So this would be the only way we'd find out for certain, anyway.
