His body and brain did it to help him be around her for the time being. A good thing to do was stay focused on their new arrival, who apparently had heritage from elsewhere, just like he did. Interesting. His dad never did tell him just how many races were out there among the stars. She spoke at length and with pride about her armor after he'd asked, getting an impressed nod as he looked over the pieces that were clearly custom made by her magnetic abilities, and not just something she picked up at an abandoned Renfaire. <br/><br/>He threw out a small salute after she introduced herself fully. "Good to meet another Commander. Unexpected, but a nice surprise." It was funny how you could pick out good times during a fucking war. "Wait...Command Corps? Oh, nevermind. Barry's involved, say no more." He did a quick mental layout of the Cathedral in his head, and took count of multiple empty rooms that weren't right next to Barry's. "Damn...that guy <em>is</em> fast", he said more to himself than either of the women there with him.<br/><br/> He was still doing his best to not look at what was absolutely Marley's naked body under a shirt as she tried to make it seem like she wasn't still flustered from an all-night session. His mood was almost immediately brightened up when Antigone tried her best to answer the reason why she was uncomfortable. The reason was a lot of questions, which all revolved around the same topic and culminated in the same thing. He snickered a little bit, then gathered himself and held back a grin.<br/><br/> "To our knowledge, we don't have any items, weapons, devices, or students with the ability to alter hormones, pheromones, or anything like that. Seems to me like you've had so much structure and purpose your whole life, you're just not used to someone coming at you straightforward and telling you how much they're attracted to you. Barry's powers are electricity-based, but he can't alter brainwaves or anything. Looks like you just fell under the kid's spell. Hahahah." <br/><br/>The blush spreading and glowing about her cheeks when she mentioned Barry was plenty of evidence. "As for the rest of us, this is a training facility, but it's also our <em>home</em>. We can be relaxed here. And we've got enough perimeter defenses and ways of sensing trouble that combined with how far away we are from everything, leaves us feeling pretty safe. Also yes, people here can and do resist the urge to procreate...most of the time," he tacked on without looking over at Marley. "But not always. We are just human after all," he said with a shrug.<br/><br/>   "Your armor is indeed very impressive, and even more so assuming you just willed it together with your powers after your mom gave you hunks of ancestral metal. I think you and your powers would definitely be a welcome addition." She did several small demonstrations with her gear, drawing an impressed nod from him and he assumed Marley as well. <br/><br/>Finally, she reiterated that she was concerned about whatever was going on with her. "I promise we've got nothing of the sort. You just like Barry, and Barry likes you. So explore that, enjoy having the attention of someone who's head over heels for you at first sight. Just...be careful and take some time to get used to him. He's a good kid, but he literally thinks so fast his mouth can't keep up with his brain sometimes," he said with a light-hearted laugh.<br/><br/></span><br/>
