[River's nose wrinkles dramatically when Henry tells him about calling the head of the lab "Papa."]
Ugh. That's creepy as shit. Easy to manipulate and coerce younger minds to do that though.
Anyways, joking about that oath part, but I take it seriously on principle.
[He IS a real doctor. River keeps the conversation going, sharing something in return for Henry's small revelations.]
I think I told you that I'd talk about what training was like in my case, right? Well, ideally you're born into a family that has a history of it already, like mine. Mom's an esper, Grandma's one, and so was my dad. Pretty inevitable when I popped out. The family's prepared in any case. If you're not, there's usually at least one other person who's sending out a mind signal so that the single esper can catch on. It's like being able to sign into a wifi network after you find it.
From there, you're signed up to train in one of the facilities in your area.
