<sub>Oriēns wasn't sure what to make of her light trick, stowing that conversation away for later. Especially with her body closely pressed against his and her energy high, she seemed volatile and who knows what could happen. When her collar beeped simultaneously as she made sparks appear, he recognized what she was almost instantaneously, it was just bizarre to see someone who came from the same place as he did. They were a handful of people, and he'd met...three? Now four? Probably more than any one of them could say. <br/><br/>Pressed up against a wall, he let it happen as it took him by surprise, non resistant. His keen eyes were on her while her gaze was focused on the people she'd heard. Stepping away from him, Oriēns flashed her a partial smile, suddenly looking disarming and boyishly innocent with his hands up in a display of surrender. <br/><br/>"Hey look, please just don't set me on fire girlie, I was only trying to help," when he spoke he had a soft lisp, more pronounced now when he spoke full sentences. "I...I happen to be like you. We were both turned into weapons, and we..we're also our own greatest threat. Sound right?" The expression he wore when he said this was a genuine, endearing puppy look, though he was still in a slightly guarded state, arms raised, body angled slightly. <br/><br/>Oriēns honestly figured it was better to be open now rather than run with some secret, or try to play it off as a coincidence when she discovered. She'd see the downed patrol anyway, it was dark but bodies littering the alley were hard to miss when you tripped over one. </sub>
