Cecil didn’t understand anything that was happening, he was just completely confused and scared. Sure, he could be told that everything was fine and that he should be calm too, but when the last thing you could remember was a panicky scene he had every right to be completely set off. It wasn’t fair for him to completely accept everything when so much was being forced upon him in terms of knowledge and awareness. He didn’t know what to make of the strange place, he didn’t know what he was supposed to do either when he was finally up and about too. It was a scary thought, all these people know that he was a Machina so did that mean he would have to act like he truly had no awareness or his own thoughts? Just how long were they supposed to be here for?

“Everyone’s fine?? I uhh…I see. Machina like me?” he questioned him, not entirely understanding what he was supposed to get from that. He didn’t know if it meant they had Machina in general or absolutely exactly like him. It didn’t make him feel very secure otherwise, he didn’t know what kind of people they were. It all felt unfair to him, being expected to take this all in after being switched off for so long, especially when he was in pieces. The worst part about all of this was Norman was talking about some sort of crystal in him, but he didn’t know anything about that or where it had come from. He was pretty distraught over all of this, he didn’t know what he was supposed to feel when everyone had their growing concerns developing over what was inside him and his own worry that he would become hated and feared ending with them forcing him out.

Listening to Norman explain what the crystal was just confused him more, especially the magic part. He didn’t understand, he didn’t know what that meant or whether he did use magic at all. “Prototype? I’m not a prototype…I don’t think…” he spoke slowly, trying to understand what would count as a prototype regarding himself and whether he was actually one. He wouldn’t know if he was a prototype unless he was told, he couldn’t search his database that deeply. Staring at Norman as he asked him about magic he frowned, not feeling entirely sure that he understood the question. “Using magic? I, uhh…I-I don’t know if what I use is magic, I mean…I don’t think it’s magic…” he spoke slowly, feeling greatly unsure about it himself, “I can release electricity! But it weakens me sometimes too. I don’t think that’s a magic type…and I’ve seen a lot of magic being thrown around too. What am I supposed to be able to do, anyway? What does the crystal mean?”

When Amuné suddenly showed herself in the workshop he was immediately startled, not quite expecting her to pop up but there she was. She was speaking too fast for him to process, something about wanting to hug him even though he was still in a fair amount of pieces and opened up. He found it quite hard to understand, she was going to put herself in danger if she dared try to touch him like this. “No I-I may give you an electric shock! I don’t know what’s been opened and what isn’t…”

While it was a concern that they wouldn’t be able to assist Ethan and Nymira with the greater creature, the Vazra were easily disposed of either way once they were outsmarted and forced into a state of confusion. It was easy to get rid of creatures like them, they were never going to be as smart as them so leading them astray was easy and the quickest way to get rid of them. It didn’t cost too much magic, Kensen had become pretty good at storing his energy properly and not wasting it all on stupid creatures like these things. The noise the other two had been causing was pretty noticeable that was for sure, but he had learned to ignore the wailings and noises creatures like that caused; however, this time it was pretty loud and definitely irritating him. They couldn’t just give that thing a quick death so that it didn’t have to make so much noise and nearly give him bleeding ears.

Groaning as he took the time to give his ears a rubbing he soon looked over to Nymira who insisted on grabbing his and Gage’s attention, giving her a staring at before he looked to the beast. Lifting his goggles momentarily but still keeping his eyes hidden from the others he gave it a brief analysis before fixing his goggles back in place. “Certainly seems like you did. That is pretty dead, alright”, he spoke, not particularly sounding fussed about the accomplishment. “I was beginning to wonder if I was going to have to cut you out of the thing in the end. Ever thought about getting some proper armour, maybe?” 

They were pretty filthy so that was gross, he didn’t want to touch either of them that was for sure. Both of them weren’t without injury either, they appeared to had sustained a fair bit between them but that was hardly an alarming thing. They could get fixed up once they got back to Mutebo, but for now their job was done and they were ready to go now. Looking back at the destroyed forested area he sighed heavily, frowning a little. “Hmmm I guess we should call a wood Magi out here to restore balance. Those things just wreck everything in their path, you know?” he spoke, not really talking to anyone specific before he turned around, looking to Gage, “If you’re done we should get out of here before they show up…”
