She considered it.
Amelia: "Do you think he'd be willing?"
Xander: "I can reach out to him."

They arranged for Elias to visit. When he arrived, Liam was shy at first but quickly warmed up to the kindly older man.
Elias: Kneeling to Liam's level "Hello, young man. Your parents tell me you're quite the adventurer."
Liam: Smiling bashfully "I like exploring."
Elias: "Exploring is wonderful. The world is full of mysteries."
They spent some time together, with Elias observing Liam discreetly.
Later, while Liam napped, the adults convened in the study.
Elias: "He's a remarkable child."
Amelia: "We know he's special, but we need guidance."
Elias: "His abilities are indeed manifesting. Faster than I would have expected."
Xander: "Is that a cause for concern?"
Elias: "Not necessarily, but it does mean he will need proper training to control them."
Amelia: "How do we do that?"
Elias: "I can recommend someone who specializes in teaching young ones like Liam."
Xander: "Will that put him at risk?"
Elias: "On the contrary, it will help him manage his abilities safely."
Amelia looked thoughtful.
Amelia: "I want him to have as normal a life as possible."
Elias: "I understand. The key is balance."

They agreed to meet with the recommended mentor, a woman named Seraphine, who had a gentle demeanor and a wealth of knowledge.
During their first session, Seraphine engaged Liam with games that subtly encouraged him to use his senses.
Seraphine: "Liam, can you close your eyes and tell me what you hear?"
He closed his eyes, concentrating.
Liam: "I hear the waves, a bird singing, and... a squirrel in the tree."
Amelia and Xander exchanged impressed glances.
Seraphine: "Very good. Now, can you tell me what the squirrel is doing?"
