Ciroc nodded in response.

"I understand." he said.

"I can never forgive Vyran for the sins he's committed in the past, either." he said further.

"Vyran?" Ilias asked.

"I man bent on the destruction of Adaminia, and ultimate power for himself." Ciroc responded.

"He is the biggest treat to my world."

"Well, with this bracelet, you've already helped me immensely." Ciroc assured them.

"If anything, I have an immense thirst for knowledge right now." he went on.

"...that, and returning home..." he added quietly.

"We're doing all we can on THAT front." Ilias told him with a small sigh.

"But we'd be more than willing to answer any questions you may have." he assured her.

"...though if they're about ME, then you're in for a long history and mythology lesson."

"Lunet?" Ciroc asked.

"Indeed!" Ilias responded.

"All right, I shall look for her." Ciroc responded. "What sort of person am I looking for?" he asked them.

"Look for the female wearing a strange band around her eyes. One that looks like a glass blindfold." Ilias replied. "...you'll know it to see it, trust me." he then said when the man looked even MORE confused.

"All right...." Ciroc said, scratching his head a little.

"Cafeteria, agent Sharp's office, or the... tech department. Got it." he then said further.

"I assume those blue panels will recognise those locations if spoken in those terms?" he asked.

"...right, then." Ciroc responded.

"Is all this technology a bit much for you?" Ilias asked.

"A little." Ciroc responded.

"I'm just being exposed to so many new things, it's a little on the overwhelming side." he said further. "I've visited a world that has tech in it, but I don't think it's anywhere near this level." he went on.

"And my home world of Adaminia has... well, it has semi-functional plumbing in the nicer buildings." he continued, before pausing to think about it.

"Think of it as... oh, how was it described to be once...?" he wondered aloud. "Ah!" he said, snapping his fingers. "It's like medieval fantasy, but add a little bit of basic advancement to it." he finished.

"Sour?" Ciroc asked.

"I rather like sour things, actually." he told her.

"Heh, that helps." Ilias chuckled.

"But if it will help, I will absolutely try it." Ciroc said to Kiah.

"The fact that a candy can help is fascinating, though." he added.

"I assume it's an alchemical result?"

Ciroc opened the bottle and dumped one of the candies out. He popped it in his mouth, and they immediately saw his quick response. Kiah wasn't lying... they were sour. Very much so.

"Woah!" he exclaimed.

"That packs a whollop!" he declared.

"...but already, I can feel my mind processing this info." he then realised.

"Yeah, they're pretty fast-acting." Ilias told him, as the man put the lid back on the bottle and handed it back to Kiah.

"Interesting." Ciroc responded.

"Regardless, I am off to find this Lunet." he told them.

"Have fun talking to her." Ilias said, as they said their goodbyes and he left.

After he did, Ilias looked at Kiah.

"...seems like a nice guy." he told her. "I really hope we can help him return home." he lamented.

Ciroc figured he would check the tech department first, and when he got there, he was told that Lunet had decided to get something to eat. So he found his way to the cafeteria, and looked around... before he noticed someone that looked like she was wearing a... well, a glass blindfold, as Ilias had said.

He looked around again, before making his way towards her, and clearing his throat slightly.

"Uh... hello there." he greeted her.

"We have not." Ciroc responded.

"I'm not sure if you've heard my name before, but I am Ciroc Icesska." he introduced himself.

"Miss Kiah and Mister Ilias told me that you were someone that would be worth talking to." he told her. "I'm new to this world, and there's so much to see and experience." he continued.

"I was told to find the one wearing a.... glass blindfold." he commented further.

"Am I disturbing you?" he then asked.

"Ah, I should eat, yes." Ciroc responded.

"I have not eaten in a bit." he admitted, looking back on it.

"I shall be right back." he told her.

He then made his way to the counter, and after a minute or two, returned with a burger, some fries, a bottle of water, and a bowl of fruit.

"Anyway." he said, sitting down across from her.

"You said your last name is Sharp." he commented. "Any relation to agent Sharp?" he asked her.

"...eh?" Ciroc mumbled.

"Well, firstly, it really speaks to his character that he adopted you, and that he's why you have the life you do right now." he told her. "Seems a lot of people owe their livelihood and their very lives to him." he commented further.

"Secondly... what do you mean by that 'debuff' comment...?" he asked her.

"And what IS that you're wearing?" he asked further.

"It... doesn't look like any pair of glasses I've ever seen, and it surely cannot be an actual blindfold. One made of glass would be highly ineffectual, I would think." he then said with a small laugh.

"So... what IS it, exactly? What does it do for you?"
