I suppose I see your point. If there are those who'd rather not share their abilities, no one will force them. In a pinch, it'd be nice to know who are the healers and who are the fighters, but not at the expense of someone's comfort and consent.

[It'd be useful to know, but Barabas can understand that as he considers it. Back home there's usually little secret whether one is a shapeshifter or a druid or a witch. But some do keep their more unique abilities hidden for their own sakes. His thoughts flicker back to Kate, after all, and her own reasons for secrecy.]

In any case having at least a roster of names and a headcount to keep track shouldn't be too much of an invasion of privacy. And it might come in handy if we wind up in a situation where we're scattered or in trouble. Or both. Both tends to be the way that goes in my experience.

[Either way, he ducks his head.] That would be extremely helpful, yes. Can we start with your name?
