( She finds herself nodding at the assertion, more understanding than agreement. She gets why it's something that would make a person feel uncomfortable. She can, in part, relate to the need for privacy, the desire to keep some things hidden from the world at large.
She gets it all from a logical place, but in truth... she never really had an issue with it as a child, and because of that, because of him, she was left with an overall fairly positive association with the entire concept. This could change in a heartbeat if she met someone who used this sort of thing against her, who took advantage, who hurt her in one of the very few ways she actually can be hurt — but until that happens, she has no real reservations about telepathy.
People pass by them impatiently, swerving around the wide stretch of space they're taking up, but Laura seems completely unbothered by the annoyed glances they get from passing pedestrians. A few blocks ahead, the supermarket lights are a warm, waiting glow that gets progressively more compelling the lower the sun sinks into the horizon beyond city limits. )
I don't mind. For the record. It- helped, before. When we first met. Talking wasn't as natural for me then. You made it easier to communicate.
