Ben skidded to a stop just before the Commander and the bushes that...damn, apparently there was some fighting going on. He let Audrianna go as soon as she wished, giving her a nod and a smile. The girl ran straight over to Cody as he expected. What he didn't expect was Cody suddenly glaring daggers at him. Ben raised an eyebrow at that, his strong arms crossed over his chest as they spoke to one another. 

Little did Cody know that as far as 'nice guys' went, Ben was like a puppy most of the time. But he knew how to be serious as well, and he matched Cody's jealous accusatory glare with a skeptical look. Somewhat in a 'are you serious?' way, to also almost daring him to say something aloud. Ben blinked as a bullet ricocheted off the forcefield that Aud had erected. He was Aud's friend, but he'd expected her to be completely focused on Cody at the moment to think about shielding him. Hey, Ben wasn't complaining. 

"[color=9e0b0f]Thanks Aud![/color]" he breathed, and crouched. He would have gone over to check on Cody, but he doubted that Cody would want his help at the moment, so he decided instead to creep over near where the bushes were, focusing his ki to get ready for battle. Briefly, he wondered where Jae was.
