[Not a lot of things take him by surprise. Most things don't, actually; that's what the computer is for. He is not a huge fan of surprises. But this one isn't lethal, and so he works to lower raised hackles, and push himself down and out of the fighting stance he'd instinctual found himself in.]
[But once he gets over that, looking his mirror image over, he has to admit:] That's... pretty fucking cool. You can do that with anybody, or just people you've seen? Shit, wait-- you can look however you want, obvious. Otherwise, why blue? [It's rhetorical, the tone of a man who thinks he's figured it out. He usually doesn't have to. Usually his computer tells him everything right off the bat. Trying to puzzle out powers is new, not entirely pleasant, but somewhat exciting.]
