CIAN
the eye
"Then I recommend asking next time, instead of barging in here with your assumptions, leaving claw marks in my furniture." Cian replies warmly, the terseness of her voice a wild clash with just how casual he still appears to be.
'So go do that, then.' The Eye replies rather dryly. "The machine has nothing at all to do with loss of life." He adds, taking in her raised chin and fiery cheeks and thinking little of them.
That she now, after she has turned this conversation toward a cliff and hung on only by the claw marks she's left in his chair (a chair older than she is—older than the pair of them combined), wants a favour is almost laughable. Cian doesn't though, laugh that is. He merely regards her with his pale gaze for far longer than strictly seems necessary. "Compasses are for members of the Order." He says, as if reminding her of something she knew already. "Letters can find their way to your friends." And as for Frey? That wasn't his problem at all, was it? "Perhaps you should ask these things of Vi. Perhaps it was just an oversight that he placed you here with no way of returning to the Grounds?" No way of doing things other than his bidding?
