Fletcher DeLancey:
If sonsales cannot sense emotions, are they also not able to front? Wouldn't that put them at a big disadvantage in a society full of empaths, especially when part of the warrior caste, or part of the High Council?
Fletcher DeLancey
Correct, they are not able to front. In their lack of empathic ability, they are just like Gaians -- and yes, at a huge disadvantage. That's why it's considered a disability. But I suspect that sonsales Alseans make up for their lack of one sense by sharpening others, such as the ability to read facial and body language. (Colonel Micah is only a low empath, not sonsales, but he's better at reading body language than anyone Andira Tal knows.)
