Sean agreed with the notion that all powers were interesting, since they were all unusual in their own way (when compared with baseline human ability). Then again, the psychiatrist also believed that some of the most common aspects of psychological, neurological, and biochemical effects on human beings were also interesting. At the same time, certain aspects of life (including certain meta-human abilities) were more interesting to science or to the mainstream society than were others. Telepathy was one. Gestalt pairs were another.
He then shrugged at Naomi’s blunt assessment, since he didn’t agree with that. “I deal with specialized knowledge,” he reminded them. The books in his office reflected that. He didn’t believe that the cache of Vonnegut novels back in his house were peculiar either, although that was neither here nor there.
It was the psychiatrist’s professionalism that led him to address all other faculty members by their surnames coupled with an honorific when in the presence of students. Even if he was close friends with the staff member in question, or even if he had a relatively informal relationship with the student in question. As such, he wouldn’t undermine Yvette’s authority, even if he understood from where the impression came. Even if, in his day, they had noted the resemblances between a separate teacher (who later became Headmistress in her own right) and classical vampire traits.
“At the moment, I don’t have anything else, but I can look into it,” Sean promised. “And I’ll let you know what the housing consensus becomes.”
