If a character *thinks* about something, it really wouldn't steer the direction of the rp in a meaningful or natural way. Our character's aren't mind readers after all, and while it's possible to tell what's going through someone's mind from subtle gestures or shifts in tone, thinking about something won't really change things. It's why when I see a character emote their thoughts and such, I don't consider it ic'ly unless there's a visible tell to it, as my character has no way of knowing it otherwise.
My thoughts exactly. I personally don't mind if it's a verb that gets added in. Though, there's nothing stopping people from using emote and the verb 'thinks' in that emote to signify thought.
