CIAN
the eye
Cian does not answer her question. Instead, he merely offers her a warm blue smile that creases the sides of his eyes, waiting for her to take a seat. This is not a conversation that is going to twist into personal anecdotes or bits of information gained by verbal morsels left around.
"You're right. They know." The Eye agrees. "They do not assume."
Like a parent might watch a child go through the motions of a tantrum until they are calm again, so too does Cian take another drag on his cigarette as Amalia sees what it is like to verbally sharpen her claws against him. He wonders silently when she'll realize that he owes her absolutely nothing. Not an explanation, not even this audience.
"That is to paint it with quite broad strokes." He replies, exhaling another whorl of smoke which his tone suddenly seems to sound like. "This seems to be something you're quite passionate about. Since it was Finn who told you of this machine, perhaps you would like to champion it?" He wonders, sounding entirely genuine. "You could take...whatever resources you thought necessary. Surely you must have some ideas, as its been a few weeks since you originally heard of it?"
