The blonde one seemed to accept his gesture of friendship, moving closer to him at a rapid pace before stopping in front of him. He tilted his head down slightly, more out of respect for his height advantage over her than his ability to see her, which was perfectly fine. They had a short conversation, at which 'Debbie' stood by whilst 'Mindy' was acting in a peculiar way - and then suddenly, she grasped his left hand.
Edward was grateful that it wasn't his weapon arm, as he would feel more uncomfortable if she had grasped that hand. Since he had illusory skin in place, it had the real texture and warmth of a human's skin, which made her hand feel more natural as it gripped him. He moved with her towards the forest with little resistance, knowing that if he were to suddenly stop instead of her it would end up being very uncomfortable for her. She was more fragile than he was, more vulnerable...
His memory processors fixated on her previous actions towards him, comparing it to his experiences with people on his world. The redness of her face, the way she wouldn't look at him straight in the eye... it had happened before. It was defined as 'shy' and 'bashful', which were more normal for humanoids that weren't him. He could not think of a time when such words had applied to him at all, as he was set in his ways... 'confident' in himself.
there was only a short stop, where the girl mentioned something called a 'sparklesense', but seemed to express less concern with the person involved. Perhaps she was not particularly fond of that member of the five? He didn't have much time to ponder this, as they swiftly approached the source of the fire. "I will need my hand back, Miss Mindy," he said, in a respectful tone.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, blushing furiously and quickly letting go. "Of course!" She covered her face in her hands slightly, out of embarrassment.
"Thank you," he said, a friendly yellow appearing momentarily before fading back to purple. "I suggest you stand back. It will be cold enough to harm you if you get in the way."
He turned towards the fire and outstretched his right hand, the illusion of skin disappearing from it to reveal the metal underneath. In the center of his palm was a circular disk, currently glowing the same purple as his visor. On the back of his hand, there were three buttons: one red, one blue, and one black. His left hand came up to press the blue button, at which the disk in his palm lightened to a sky blue almost immediately, indicating the ice beam.
Edward outstretched his hand, brushing his left hand underneath his wrist to push another button. A beam of ice quickly shot from the circular disk in his hand towards the trees, splashing across the sides of some and forming around the trunks of others. Through this method some of the fire turned to steam, allowing a safer venue for the girls.
"Follow me," he said, more to Mindy as she was closer and more trusting. He would lead them through the forest in their endeavour to find their friends.
