Everest
Perhaps in time Sohalia would come to understand all of Ever's strange non-verbal cues or the things that made him both easier and harder to communicate with. Perhaps he'd learn too that his new leader was someone who he could trust, or be comfortable around. Until then, the aviator wore his particular brand of social discomfort like an overly large cloak; constantly compensating for it yet unable to shrug it from his shoulders.
Lighting up considerably at being asked a direct question he could competently understand, Everest raises his eyes for just a moment as he nods. "Historically the Spyglass served as a very specific sort of advisor. At least, that's how Cian, the previous Eye, used the previous Spyglass." Ever begins, finding it not strange at all to speak of his father like this. "By specific I mean racial. Finn Rosencrantz had a special pair of glasses that let him see the auras of other races long after they'd passed by a particular place. It helped him in identifying disturbances and, in the early stages of the war, was useful in identifying any ascended who tried to pass themselves off as something other than they were."
Should Ever have his Father's special glasses now? Perhaps he'd ask.
"But the role of the Spyglass has always been an informative one. You point it - me, I suppose - in any given direction, and I report back to you." In this, it suited Everest just fine. Unlike Lena or Anju who would be out dealing with people, the aviator would gather information and compile it for hisregent? luminary? heart? whatever, and report back.
"Ultimately my role is to keep you informed, or to get you information that you need along with unbiased judgements should you require them."

I've done the math, checked the facts
