Telepathy

[Retane]

If I have Telepathy and am allowed can another speak to me or show me their thoughts willingly?  Like If I connect with someone Telepathically and I have it but they don't and they are an ally, can I read their willing thoughts?

Not sure about the first part of your question, regarding another person communicating back via telepathy without the power.

For the second part of your question . . .

From the Telepathy description

You may also be able to glean thoughts from an opponent with lower TEC, though this requires time, concentration and skill. When not in a battle situation, for example, and with a TEC much higher than your opponent's, you could probably pretty easily tell what a person is currently thinking. Reading deeper into someone's thoughts without their permission would require at least double their TEC. Particularly guarded thoughts or history would be like trying to open a security vault; it's unlikely that you would be able to get in unless the person was asleep or otherwise preoccupied, so that you could focus on reading their mind without them noticing. If someone wants you to read their mind, or is free and open with their thoughts, you can essentially disregard their TEC.

Yes. If the subject is willing, you may read their thoughts without issue. They can't send messages back the same way you do, but in theory, they could formulate thoughts as though they were speaking to you. Just keep in mind that, if they have any thoughts or memories they don't want you to know, then you will encounter resistance.

Like, if they know you're listening, they could just think what they want to say to you and you'd hear it. As simple as that.
