They uthed to tell thtorieth of what they did to telekineticsth. Older trollth, thometimeth, or otherth our age. Ever thince I wath thmall. Get caught for a highblood, or worth, get 'drafted' into the fleet. Become a Helmthman.
...Thothe were alwayth the wortht taleth. Helmthmen thtorieth. They terrified me. [They still do.]
Tho I'd lie. Fake I wath a weaker telekinetic than I really wath, made mythelf worth a little leth in their eyeth.

Tho I lived like that. Thcared and paranoid for motht of my life, trying to keep it a thecret. [His fists clench over one another.] ...I did a lot of thingth back then I'm not proud of.
