He's pleased with the detailed answer, and pleasantly surprised by the questions; usually he's the one asking them all. It's not that he likes talking about himself, he just appreciates when someone else wants to learn. Not that he has any issue with talking, clearly.

"It doesn't feel like anything?" That one's more rhetorical. He's not sure how you'd connect to something you can't feel, but then maybe connection isn't how that works.

"It's difficult to explain, because it's different for everyone. It's a bridge between you and everything else, so it depends on how you interpret the world around you. For most people that translates to some sort of energy transfer, heat or electricity, because that's what you'd think it would feel like." Most people now, anyway, in an age when the transfer of energy is just a given concept.

"For me, it's a river." He almost leaves it there, but Rosinante probably wants as detailed of an answer as he gave, so it's only fair to explain. "Water flows in one direction, unless there's something to block it, and then it has to go around. So if you want to change its course, all you have to do is stick your hand in. The more water you want to change the direction of, the more you need to divert the current, but everything continues on whether you touch it or not." He's talking a bit with his hands now, making small gestures that may or may not seem to correlate to what he's saying.

"If you put in enough effort, you can shift the course of the river permanently. If you try especially hard, you can reverse the current itself. It's about as easy or as hard as it sounds." And surely all of that makes perfect sense.
