So what's it called anyway

[helen99]

There's this feeling that I get when I find others like me...

I've heard it called "the warming" but it's sort of a little more than that... There's shimmering involved too, in addition to a warming. A warm, luminous shimmering. Limmering?

It would be unrealistic to walk up to every such entity and say "I love you" (especially if you don't know them at all!)... But maybe they could handle "Pardon me, but you are a noteworthy source of Limmering in my presence"... Then again, maybe that would be considered a little strange...

Ooh, I love it when that happens!

But keep in mind that they probably attract weirdos, and a clear-eyed look and a smile of recognition would be much less...disturbing.

And besides, they can hear you anyway...

come to think of it

The Lyrin Limmers.

I'm sure it's a source of constant irritation to him, too.

Unfortunately, the word "limmering" has already been coined to describe a feeling of infatuation (Do a search on 'Limmerance' and you'll see what I mean.) Though I'm sure there's a lot of overlap, I'm trying to describe something slightly different.
