Lucian thought for a moment, trying to determine whether he wanted to ask for more of a shield or if he wanted more of a thorn mail like spell, like the one that the foes had that cut down Sylph. "I may just go with a barrier as well." He raised his hand to his chin and gave it a light rub, "...yeah a barrier, I could probably get a better understanding of them by simply having one on me anyway." Along with the fact that he could likely get one shot by everyone on his team at the moment...but he wasn't about to admit that. 

He picked the book that Saito had handed him back up and began to quickly go through it, "So, aside from what this book is telling me, do you have any further tips or advice concerning a familiar, and have you ever seen one be made before?" He looked back up at saito after rushing through a few pages, just trying to get the gest of it, "Jumping subjects I know." he looked at Saito.
