CIAN
Cian doesn't need to look toward Artemide to know that she's there. Instead, he simply smiles at Finn, the lines around his eyes deepening and making him look almost warm for just a moment. "No, I should think that they don't." He agrees, his smile perfectly placed and his eyes shining with a cold light. "So not directions from Safrin then, but one of her familiars." Cian is careful to clarify. It isn't that the owl is not important in her own right, but of course in matters just as these, the devil is in the details. And if Finn is going to rely on his orders coming from on high, best he get the hierarchy correct.
Raising a brow that he should be appreciative of Finn and October's arrival in his office—just how and why was the Eye unconscious? That never was cleared up, was it?—Cian raises his whiskey to his lips again as Finn outlines what he knows in what is presumably some display of dominance or power. Even the most feeble of creatures will lash out at a formidable predator when cornered.
"As I said..you've now your owl, you've read the book. Why ask me what happens next, when you clearly have it all well in hand?" The Eye doesn't rise to Finn's bait, not bothering to justify his actions (or Finn's accusations that he's done nothing at all). "You've already told Amalia of the machine and the ascended's plans. And since you clearly believe I don't have a handle on it, I'll leave it to you."
