Kael's eyes followed the lines of text, understanding...well, some of it. Then the revelation that he could have saved his companion came to mind...which of course, seemed largely obvious in hindsight, but his reasoning for not trying something like that was still sound.
"[color=007236]You could have saved her, you worthless thief...[/color]"
So it would seem...he wasn't particularly perturbed by the insult and remark, people had said worse to him before, but the way he could have saved her...
The last line of text scrolled across the screen, and his name caught his eye. Proxy Iris...that knight kept talking about proxys...vitiating him, Kael...he didn't know what vitiating meant, but he knew the roots of such a word, and anyway, something told him he probably didn't want to be vitiated. But more importantly, everything except the essential outside elements of this world had been torn away, who was this Pro...
Everything and everyone who wasn't...something, essential...had disappeared.
The only being who hadn't who had also not been in that carriage besides the monstrosity above him was that knight.
The knight with the golden eyes who was even now reaching for his shoulder.
"Maybe you should do that [i]now...[/i]"
If there was one thing his mentor had taught him, it was the value of instant action. Kael's will exerted itself immediately, intent on two effects. Firstly, he willed himself about three feet away from the entity he presumed to be Iris. Then, he used the interesting thing he had noticed.
When he had looked at the machine, he had figured, ~[color=007236]Hey, this seems to be a piece of complex magical equipment that I am not sure I can deal with.[/color]~ If he thought about the prospect of healing the wound in his partner earlier, he figured that it would be a task he wasn't sure he could accurately accomplish, due to...once again...a lack of understanding. And yet...he could have done it. Therefore, the next task he wills to occur, is for the machine before him to [i]reset[/i]. Once again, no fiddling with whatever accomplishes that task, no fighting the monster above, and no getting vitiated by their ally. Simply the clear intent for it to perform the function he knew it could. He may not have saved his companion, but this worthless thief could certainly save anyone left and get them home.
