Viktor saw Aelita and her father, Tamo, discussing something very intensely. Since they were a bit far away, he was about to use his vampiric senses to catch what they were saying.
But suddenly, Umilia placed her hand on his knee and whispered, "Don't do it. I forgot to mention that Nyissa had told me not to use our odic force before these people. She doesn't know the exact reason other than the fact that the people here won't take kindly to it. So it's better for us to be on the safer side. That's why you can't reveal your non-human side at all."
Viktor yet again felt that this was odd, but he nodded as he continued eating. But he wondered how can these Regulars know if anyone else was using odic force or not. Do they even know about odic force? Viktor felt that this might not be an ordinary community as he guessed.
