Eddie ensured that his fingers grazed her head as he took the photo from her. By now, it would be a rather obvious gesture, but it was still performed with an ease he could never muster without the magic of NZT. His mind took in every detail of the picture as a grin broke out on his face again. "You look amazing."

Then he was offering it back to her in such a way that she could easily return the hand grazing gesture or avoid it, whichever she preferred. His eyes were back on hers, listening intently. Eddie's smile faltered only the smallest hint when she spoke about her abilities, but it quickly recovered and spread wider even. "That sounds intense. How do you think you'll be able to get control of it? Is it something that happens any time you're.. passionate? Or only when you're angry?"

Ah, the insinuations. Then he gave a shrug. "I'm not surprised. The government likes to have their hands in a little bit of everything in order to provide existing knowledge and a basis for combat in any field if the public gets concerned or other countries get anxious."
