Jack is not subtle about his reaction to her abilities, and it is a very interesting reaction indeed. This normally outspoken guy, ushered into anxious silence? It's an odd look on him.
Codi squints across the widening distance between them, trying to figure him out. Obviously Jack recognizes what she can do - otherwise he wouldn't be having such a visceral response to it - but what could have happened to him to cause it? Did he know someone else with those powers? Or is it more of a concept wariness, like a fear of lightning caused from sailing through too many storms? It's hard to say without prying more details out of him, which is what Codi is planning to do--
--When, suddenly, the sound of other vehicles merging on their position cuts through the awkward silence. Codi's head swivels to confirm that these are friendlies instead of more Sylphid, before she turns back to face Jack with a wide, much more genuine-looking grin.
"I'm glad you think so!" she beams. "I can tell you stories about them after the mission, maybe? Need to regroup at forward base and give a status update."
