"'Gift'?" Brody's voice was incredulous, but stopped short of any crassness. He laughed a little and then waved his fingers in front of his forehead in his best charade of telekinesis.

"Buddy, the brain-lifting thing? That's a gift. The only thing, uh, 'different' I can tell about me is getting my ass kicked and still getting up after most folk have the sense to stay down." He didn't mention dropping the engine block out of a Chevy with an angry fist. Didn't seem relevant. He didn't want to weird the guy out. Dolemeck seemed pretty cool...and, if Brody was being honest, probably a lot better at handling 'weird' than he gave first appeared, with how openly he did the, uh, brain-moving thing he'd forgotten the word for. Maybe Brody just didn't want to talk about it yet...
