Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly.
"…Consent."
That was the only explanation that really fit.
It matched what happened with Mel. He hadn't forced anything, and he definitely hadn't activated it manually. She accepted him first, and only then did the system respond.
Arthur slowly nodded to himself.
"…Yeah. That's probably it."
So it wasn't something he could just use whenever he wanted. It had to happen naturally. Mutual understanding. Mutual acceptance.
Which also meant things were going to get complicated.
He glanced across the training hall again.
Torren was still getting launched around by his training setup while stubbornly refusing to stay down. Selene had fallen completely into rhythm, moving and firing without pause like she was trying to drown out the world around her.
As for Ryn..
Arthur didn't even bother looking.
Lyra probably had him trapped in some impossible training drill already.
"…Yeah, not starting there."
That only left one option.
