Private to Ernie and Zacharias
You aren't failing them, especially if you take even more time to research and do everything you should do before attempting anything complicated that involves. I think the only way you could fail them is to not be there for them.
Do you mean Legilimency? Because there's this bloI know of this manInBloody hell. Because that could be interesting. Dangerous, though. The human mind is a very complex place. Not to overstep, but I think if anyone tried that, they'd need an anchor of some kind to keep them, well, anchored. But it sounds really interesting and like it could have potential.
I don't think it's strange. I've read various books that end up including things about balancing elements in people. I realise that does not make me qualified to actually say anything on the matter of the quiet type with the out there type, but it makes sense to have those opposite elements to balance things out with both people.
