I have just had a great idea for my pov character, basic telepathy, but in two parts, sending and receiving. Some can do one or the other, my POV character is unique in his ability to do both. The price he pays, he can't learn to speak.
Here is where it gets interesting, he falls in with a group of people that use giant bipedal reptiles as war beasts or beasts of burden. These creatures are presumed to be just animals, but they are not. They are of human intelligence but without our desires for society, company, etc... still working out the details after this idea. They growl, roar, and behave like large predators, but they are all telepathic senders and receivers, a language of impressions, complex ideas not in words maybe...
I was thinking in addition to finding out about this society invisible to my humans, giving my POV character a romantic subplot with one of these animals. As far as anyone else is concerned, it is bestiality, but for my POV character, this is the closest he will ever come to love. This is only a subplot that I haven't figured out how to weave it into my main storyline of my POV caracter's friend falling from grace and his friends trying to bring him back.
