Maybe it's because I've been reading copious amounts of BL, but, Tyrian could just be attracted to Jaune. That would also fit with the comparison to Hisoka, seeing as how there is a scene in the Hunter x Hunter anime showing a peeping Hisoka being turned on by Gon and Killua. And you know what? I would not be angry about that. I would love the dynamic that would develop between them because of it. Agame Ga Kill anyone? Juuuust saying.

Anywho, perhaps Ruby's aura effects weren't because of any in-universe reason. It may have been a way for the animators to remind the audience the limits of Aura. We only saw Ruby's aura flicker because we knew that Tyrian's objective was her. It was more important to show the degredation of her Aura, so as to raise the tension of the situation. Thus it would appear they chose tension over consistency,(i.e. no one else's Aura flickering until the final hit).

Also, I am voting for Ren's semblance being a 6th sense. Seeing as how he is the only one in this show who seems to have any intuition.
