CIAN
the eye
What the Eye hears from Amalia is nearly the same as what he'd heard earlier from Finn. Accusations and assumptions which ran into dead-ends and excuses. He sits, actively listening but passively watching as the Shield's anger seems to be dialed back slightly. Cian appreciates her passion, though he values her restraint more.
Of all the things the Shield reveals—Vi's plans, her talks with Finn, Delphia's tasks—only one thing seems to surprise him. "Torture them?" He smiles dryly, chuckling without any amusement at that.
Finally she is asking questions, and Cian is happy to oblige her in this new line of conversation. "The Order was created over three hundred years ago. The Voice was once a resident of our city, and we had all seen first hand what she was capable of. We tried to stop her. The Gods tried to stop her. A...solution was reached, but not a victory." Dry and dusty those this history lesson might be, it is delivered as an intense monologue by the Eye.
"It is our mission to stop her." He concedes with a nod. "And in so doing, all of the ascended must be stoped as well. Though there's no reason to think pain needs to come into it." The Eye adds almost as an afterthought. "As for you and Ronin...Soon he will head up the Dragoons, but you? Your task will be to ensure that there is no unnecessary suffering. No lives caught in the crossfire."
