[Charles looked probably particularly short when in comparison with the egg he sat beside. The egg itself had a soft luminous glow about it that was reflected in the telepath’s expression. He had one hand resting delicately on the shell and every so often would give a soft chuckle as if he were being tickled.]

How absolutely extraordinary.

[He said softly, before giving a blink and focusing back on his device. Someone had gotten distracted by tiny turtle emotions.]

I was curious about the draw I’d felt to come down this way and to this, [he looks up along the shell and well, even if it towered over him it was still an,] egg. I do not normally suffer from such compulsions.

[His control on his own mind was too strong (as a rule) and at first he’d been quite bemused at the strength of the compulsion, edging towards concerned. However, once he’d drawn closer and the egg had begun to resonate, everything had seemed to settle around him and he couldn’t imagine why he’d been concerned.

Which, of course, was concerning and had led to Charles investigating the egg with telepathic tendrils and oh what a fascinating response he’d gotten in return. In fact, it had him chuckling again as he brushed his hand lightly over the shell, almost like one would rub a baby’s back to sooth.]

I would not call it a conversation, per say but whoever is inside certainly seems to have a sweet and positive outlook on life at the moment. At least this one does.

I apologize if this has already been covered elsewhere but has anyone else come across an egg like this one?

Well, conversation might be a bit of a stretch. [Charles said with a chuckle.] The mind inside is too undeveloped for anything beyond the most basic needs and instincts.

But it is a joyful presence.

So it's just like feelings and stuff? Because, I mean, it's an egg, how would it know anything about the world and junk?

I don't get it. Could you always read the minds of babies?

[excessivehubris]

It knows about its world inside the egg. [Charles explained.] Though it's not as if it is describing, its world. These are more like impressions, emotions, sensory input.

It's warm, dark, content and it radiates a ... [this was actually hard to put into words.] Well, think how you feel when you're hugged; its like that.

As for reading the minds of infants, I actually never had a cause to make the attempt, though I do not see why I wouldn't be capable of doing so.
