If I had the ability to peek into heads and I have to judge a person in a little time I have, I would "cheat" and check his/her mind.
On the other hand: I am a grandparent with the lonely telepatic ability, and two of my sons shares this, plus there is a haggard skill master. And suddenly there is a kid who is son of my son - I would check him if he has the ability too. It would mean: I'm less alone and despite everything: my bloodline is still strong.
And bringing the two idea together: if I make a pact with him, and he is able to understand the level of our bonding - the bond would be even stronger. Not only the material comfort but the comfort of not being alone in your unique talent.
