After hearing Niala's story, Connor fully understood the reasoning for the artificial limbs. There were many old warriors who have lost the use of a limb and something like that would allow them to fully live their lives again. However...he didn't approve of replacing a perfectly working limb with a fake one. "I'm sorry to hear what happened to you, Niala...though what you have is amazing. I would never be able to imagine working body parts being made out of metal or whatever else you humans might have. I just...don't like the thought of someone choosing to sacrifice a limb if it is still working. It seems a waste." he says. He hears her mention of ships and boats "Oh, yes we have those. Naturans tend to stay close to where the tribe lives. Even nomadic tribes like to stay to the land they are comfortable with, though I have heard of some who brave to vast waters. If you want to talk about larger ships, the elves of the city will be the ones to speak to." he says. Come to think of it, this was the first time he had even mentioned elves. "I failed to mention before, but the Naturan are not the only people of Neryas. There are the elves of the wild and the elves of the city as well." he explains. He wanted to hear more about human culture and tell them more about his culture. This was fascinating to him and these were the first people in a very long time he would consider friends aside from Kyran and Fleur. He knows there are matters to attend to, however, so he decides to wait for a more opportune time to speak.

Alex, meanwhile, was speaking to Julius "Looks like you're all good and prepared. You couldn't have picked a better time either since we got two locals here who can be our guides if they want." He looks to Kyran "You there...I'm not sure what your name is, but would you be willing to show us around the immediate area? We saw those ruins yesterday...I think Connor said it was called the Grove of the Ancients or something like that. Are there any other places of note we can possibly see?" he asks, hoping that the translator caught all that. He turns back to Julius "About those tests...make sure it is purely voluntary. I don't want to catch word of you promising them some kind of compensation or tricking them, alright?" he said in a stern tone. He was less harsh to Julius than he was before, but wanted to make sure he wouldn't do anything extreme.
