Now clad in a fresh set of clothes bearing the exact same design as before, she occupied a spot around the central table, within the Ospreyan noble's sight. As usual, she began listening to what Izayoi's former protege had to say. The mere mention of her hated creator's name was enough to get her full attention. So, the tyrants had vested interest in this seemingly barren desert... but what exactly? Due to how she came to be, Eve's mind was quick to assume that they had a research facility there, part of their grand plan of playing god, but she realized it was a mere wild guess due to how little information they currently had. It could be anything, but whatever it was, nothing good could come from leaving Valheim unattended. Of course, they were united under a common goal, not obedience to an authority figure, that much was obvious; Eve failed to see why Hien needed to mention such things, but then again, there’s a good reason why he's the future sovereign and not her. [color=d3d3d3][b]"For the benefit of those who weren't present at Atsu, I must inform you that I do not require any form of sustenance besides ether, so...."[/b][/color] This time, it was Eve's turn to give [i]Izayoi[/i] the side-eye, [color=d3d3d3][b]"Please do not insist on reserving our precious water for me."[/b][/color] If rations are essential, then water is of the utmost importance. As far as she learned from adventuring with others, people could survive for more than a month without food, but water? Less than a few weeks. Of course, she'd be more than happy to be proven wrong here, the pseudolon had no illusion that her abomination of a body had its perks, especially from a purely pragmatic perspective. Now, questions, well she didn't have questions exactly, but she did have something to say to the party, just in case, [color=d3d3d3][b]"Everyone, though we haven't yet identified the nature of Valheim's scheme there, if... [i]if[/i] what we found there is an accursed facility similar to the one that created me, then we must do all in our power to destroy it."[/b][/color] She paused, briefly glancing toward Galahad before addressing the party once more, [color=d3d3d3][b]"I firmly believe that what they're doing, desecrating the very sanctity of the Primals and life itself, is the cardinal reason behind the Blight's emergence. Assuming this is true, if we stop Valheim, then the Blight too will end."[/b][/color]
