His thought was interrupted by a Latin-lilting voice from behind him, and he spun on his heel, hand instantly going to the side-arm slung on his belt, but he faltered. It would have been a fatal mistake if he hadn't been nigh invulnerable to gunfire, and if the person who had just snuck up on his group hadn't been here to fight. The first thing he noticed about her was the violet, skintight suit she was wearing, and how it contrasted against the green environment around her. Did she want to stick out like a sore thumb? Then, the second thing he noticed about her was inevitable: that lycra was not only skin tight, this woman was an absolute bombshell, and every curve of her body was being shown off proudly by the suit it was like seeing her naked, which shamefully made his loins stir. JD was the horndog of the group, not he, but he was not sure if he could trust his mouth to work around this woman... Voltaje, she called herself. When he had first met Athena, he sometimes had to hold his tongue without tripping on it, and he still had trouble talking to the doctor. 14 decades old, and he still acted like a lovesick teenager at times.<br/><br/>He opened his mouth, but then closed it again, just briefly, to compose his thoughts. Then, he fought off the urge to speak to her in Spanish; He might say something that he didn't mean to say in a language that frankly wasn't his own. Finally, he said to Voltaje, "I'm sorry... You can certainly understand my reluctance to believe you, right? How can I trust anything you say? We're in the middle of the rainforest, and until now we've only encountered hostile drug runners. Now you show up... And you don't exactly look like some traveling local." Cautiously, with one hand still on his holstered pistol, he took a few steps closer to Voltaje, and raised his free hand, palm open, out to her.<br/><br/>"May I have permission to read your mind? I can do it if I put one hand on you, but a guy knows when no means no. Obviously I need to verify that you're not one of them, trying to pull a fast one on us," he said, gesturing back to the captives.
