He says it is because his hands get very cold very easily, but in reality he prefers to wear them because he has recently discovered a very unhappy side-effect of his mother’s latent psi ability has been passed on to him: he sometimes has a flash of strong feelings about a person, or a powerful emotional response, when his bare hands come into tactile contact with another living being.
