Although they remained up, and his right fidgeted with his left. "Depending on who paid attention, or how much weight they gave it, that last post on Sleepr outed that yes--I have mental magics. The 'taking over someone's mind' it alluded too was years ago and required a special weapon I do not have access to anymore." A pause. "I'd prefer those who do know I am familiar with things like memory modification to remain small however." In other words, he was trusting Gold to be responsible with the information.
