It felt like Felix's skeleton was also about to jump out of his skin but for an entirely different reason. Compliments made him sort of short-circuiting. Les thought he was cute. It was entirely unprofessional to actually take that kind of compliment to heart but Felix just couldn't help it. Someone as attractive as Les thought he was cute. It was good that his patient was just about as distracted as he was so that he had some time to recover. If he could see himself though, he'd think he was an idiot. He had a dorky shy smile and his cheeks had gone bright red. Even if he tried to pretend like it didn't affect him, the physical signs made it painfully obvious.<br/><br/>Having another question to answer helped him get himself back together. It was encouraging to see that Lesley seemed mostly comfortable with having his stump touched, hopefully, it would only get easier from here on out. His blush staid as Les complimented him once again, he even touched him. Once again, Felix drew from the others confidence and smoothed his fingers further up Les' arm. It seemed they would be messes together.<br/><br/>"Well," he had to clear his throat, "since you'll be able to move your hand on your own and hopefully have some sensation too, it's theorised that it will help. Since you're the first humans to actually try this though, we can't be sure. It's something we're studying with you actually." He tried to look Les in the eye but he just couldn't keep it up, only glancing at him as he explained. "I don't think you're stupid at all, I think it's really smart of you to ask all these questions." The smile he gave him this time was a little more confident. "Yeah, we're a team." He squeezed his forearm to emphasise his confidence and support for Les.<br/><br/>Their little moment didn't last for long before Felix moved on, way too nervous to keep touching and maintaining eye contact any longer. He felt stupid for feeling the way he did, he fell way too easily but Lesley's confidence and compliments just drew him in like some kind of high-powered magnet and Felix couldn't resist it. Maybe once they parted ways after this, the feelings would go away. God, he hoped so. Felix thought about all this as he grabbed a couple of electrode stickers, already hooked up to the computer to interpret results. "I'll need to measure your muscle and brain activity now, see what there is to work with."
