Mathias isn't prone to baby talk to begin with, but as he looks at Sam with a smile, he's glad to hear Sookie say something like that. Although she can be shy sometimes, she's relatively well spoken for someone so young and he hopes he can attribute that at least in part to the way he and Veronica would speak to her.

"Did it ever scare you or did you always know what was going on?" he asks, trying to imagine hearing the thoughts of others as such a small child. If she's always heard them, he imagines she grew up thinking it was entirely normal. That everyone heard thoughts like that, but it's still such a strange, distant concept for him.

"And if I am asking too many questions, you can tell me to stop," he adds with a small smile, realizing that he may be prying a little too much. It's fascinating, though, and strange at the same time. Something so different from anything he's grown used to.
