Ok... my theories...
I say theories cause this is mostly supposition.. I REALLY do not have any wealth of evidence to back it up..mostly because the comic has been running for years but we have so little to go one right now...
When Jardin first encountered the Loroi in the medical lab he awoke with a start from a burning presence he 'sensed'... p.19 panel 3 we see Fireblade.. her expression was not one of disgust or anger but one of shock. Panel 4 her expression one of perhaps expectant curiosity? The next close up on Fireblade is on page 20, panel 3 ~ There is the expression of guarded suspicion. Her next expression is shared with Beryl on the next page 21, panel 4 ~ yes its a 'what the hell is he talking about?'... but what is to note she is not glaring at him in utter disbelief or clear hostility. The next time we close up on Fireblade is on p. 23 when it seems both her and Beryl are in telepathic discussion with Stillstorm... note there is no anger, suspicion or even malice in Fireblade's expression. The next p. 24 Fireblade's expression is serious... but not suspicions.. actually rather neutral it doesn't convey much of her feelings. Pages 25, 26 show Fireblade but again no hints to her feelings in her expression both being neutral. Now page 27... lots going on here ~ Fireblade's expression in panel 1 is one not really of anger but perhaps guarded caution... almost concern.. it looks like she does not want to harm the strange male creature.. but its Jardin's description that more telling ~ 'her touch was almost gentle'. Now her expression in panel 3 is one of either anger or frustration but certainly intense concentration but also to note Jardin is showing us bits of his personality with him joking about in the face of clear hardship. Now p. 32...Fireblade enters his cell alone.. her expression in panel 1 its mixed kind of a curious readiness to see what he new reaction to her now would be.. clearly there is anger in Jardin's expression. In panel 4 lots going on here but its subtle...clearly Fireblade it trying to intimidate with her presence her expression serious and I was say focused... she seems to be meeting Jardin's eyes... but I get the distinct impression she is not use to meeting a males gaze at the same height cause Jardin is only slight shorter than her.. and she seems to not be sure she likes meeting a male who is comparable to her in height! But Jardin's reaction is not to cower but to meet her stance for stance gaze for gaze... something I'm sure that is showing Fireblade... this male may be confined..but his is Certainly NOT Cowed or intimidated...she understands his words 'what do you want'.. and the expression on her face is somewhat of frustration in the context of his words. She may not know what she wants but clear defiance from him is certainly not it!
Now from this point on Fireblade does not give anything away expression-wise her visage is neutral until p. 45 where she shoves Jardin with TK... both panels 4 and 6 she is not angry or offended..6 there is just the slightest hint of a smile in amusement ...clearly Jardin thinks so.
My point. later on when Jardin is escorted to the shuttle he tries to get a reaction out of Fireblade... she is clearly put off by his irreverent, joking, talkative nature so opposite of her serious intense nature...
And THAT is my point.. I think Jardin and Fireblade are opposites personality wise... but often times opposites attract for both see unconsciously the thing in their personality that is missing the thing they refuse to accept... Jardin the serious and Fireblade the jest and settled back way of approaching life. I think the heart knows more of what one needs to feel complete than the head EVER does. I think the reason why Jardin can sense Fireblade is because indeed... his heart recognizes her as something he needs...
I'm the FIRST person to say 'Love at First' sight is just a bunch of bunk... until, damn it, it happened to me. The same thing my father tells me it happened to him with my mother who he married and stay with until her death 2 years ago. 48 good years!
Now Jardin does not realize it yet, in fact neither did I when it happened to me.. I denied it to myself for months.. until I realized everytime I closed my eyes her face was there, but the Loroi are telepathic and Fireblade powerful even among the loroi so I think that specialness that is her that resounds to Jardin's heart bleeds over... they don't like each other righ tnow.. and in fact my mother told my father She WOULD NEVER MARRY him..despite the year in college he pursued her..lol.. but I'm hopeful....
No I think there is more to Jardin's ability to sense Fireblade than just her being a powerful psionic... no I think its deeper than that.
