Kaine, half tired, and half not thinking anything of what all Antigone said, was completely okay with her liking Barry. But the thought never crossed his mind that the way she spoke...she seemed like she knew almost nothing about love, romance, or sexual encounters. It wasn't until Marley spoke up that he really understood the way she was talking, causing a light bulb to blink on over his head and Kaine to nod alongside his fellow Founder.<br/><br/> "She's right. At the end of the day it's up to you what you do, but it's up to <em>you</em>. Don't let him pressure or force you into anything, even if it doesn't seem like he's doin' it on purpose." It was very awkward and...<em>weird</em> for Kaine and Marley to be talking about these with a new denizen of the Cathedral, but he took his job seriously, so anything between him and Marley would remain between them, without dragging the new girl into it.<br/><br/> She said she hadn't had a good experience meeting other Commanders from the Eclipse, and it was a mixed bag for him. "I think it depends on the person. Some people got broken by the war...did horrible things to make it through, and it changed them. Then you got people like us, who could at least hold on to ourselves...<em>some</em> of ourselves at least," he clarified and tried to keep his eyes from glazing over as the past suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.<br/><br/> "But yeah, Barry's powers are electrical in nature. The more juice he has, the faster he is. And...aw man, he said <em>that</em>?" Kaine's facial expression turned to something of bemused unbelief. Even if he'd been kidding, and even if the world had effectively turned all Mad Max with superpowers, this was still a society(in most parts) where you couldn't just say stuff like that to women. Maybe they'd need to talk with the kid later. "I'm hopin' he was joking too, but we'll have a word with him just in case. <br/><br/>We want you to feel safe here, and again, <em>nothing</em> he says, you have to comply with. He's...he's hyper-horny or something, I dunno," he shrugged. "Marley, Myself, Eric, and Tristin are the only ones whose orders you have to follow around here, and we'll never give you rules that will put you in danger or make you feel uncomfortable. Just standard issue safety stuff and things like that." <br/><br/>She asked for the room she'd mentioned before, the free one next to Barry's. Kaine's eyebrow raised at the thought, then he looked over at Marley. "Well, like I said, any free room is available. So it's yours if you want it. But remember what we said, no one here can make you do anything but you. Don't fall to his charms if it makes you do something you normally wouldn't."<br/><br/></span><br/>
