[ Matthew doesn't hesitate as much as he just stops for a moment, like a briefly frozen computer. Then he gives another little laugh, this time entirely at himself, and shakes his head. ]
No. I was gonna ask something, but-- Never mind.
[ "Are you still afraid of hornets?" That was his thought. The younger Gansey had been often and deeply afraid, more so than a simple creature like Matthew can even understand. But Matthew's never seen that fear in the regular Gansey. So does that mean Gansey is no longer afraid, or that he's always brave?
Matthew would like to know, but something tells him he shouldn't just ask that kind of thing. Regular Gansey never talks about it, and if Matthew's the one asking then he won't be able to lie about it, either. ]
It'd be too weird, with my power.
[ Which has very likely come up before now, since he's pretty transparent and has no desire to go around accidentally collecting anyone's secrets. ]
