From what you told me, you didn't make a conscious decision to utilize your powers. There's the difference.
They do, which is why the most dangerous men and women in the Net have sworn their loyalty to the E's. The Arrows have already proven they'll stop at nothing to keep them safe.
Then again, as a cardinal E has recently shown, they're also capable of protecting themselves--she projected her pursuers' fears onto them. Left them wrecks curled up in the fetal position.
[Sascha Duncan had already had his respect, but that just elevated it.]
See, now that I can respect. Using one's powers to protect themselves or others? Good. And frankly, people should feel the terror they inflict on others at times.
Yes. Thankfully for us, we'd already been building the foundations of unity across the three races. The packs had finally begun communicating with each other more--we had contacts that we could reach out to before someone slighted did something rash.
[Oh. Right. That, uh, had been the purpose. He’d gotten lost.]
I was asking from an inter species perspective. The concern that a human or psy might find their Changeling partner, well, changing while growing intimate. But I realize that is an awkward question.
In my case, Brenna has to worry about me and my abilities more than vice versa, though occasionally she unconsciously semi-shifts her hands into claws.
["Why should she do it less often?" is a thought Judd rightfully keeps to himself.]
Unconscious semi-shifting stems from heightened emotions. Typically anger, but pleasure can sometimes do it as well. It's a matter of them staying aware and shifting back the moment they feel their claws coming out.
[Sometimes a man doesn't want to have his throat torn out. Or to drag himself back to his best friend and need that bad of healing. Again.]
I'm not dating a changeling.
[Something he can honesty say. Sure, they get coffee. Or go to meals. Or David cooks for him sometimes. And they've kissed a little. But dating? No. No matter how much David is starting to think that maybe he'd like that.]
