Jane nods in agreement with Olivia's inquiry, but she's jarred out of her calm demeanor as Gyre rather forcefully makes a mess of himself here.
"What are you doing-- Wait, children?" She questions Gyre first, before turning like a lightning bolt onto the Protector with her attention.
"What does he mean, children?" Her voice has gotten a lot colder all of a sudden, like she's on to something awful here and she's just spotted the tip of it.
To his credit, the Protector doesn't even seem to be bothered by the question. He reaches up to flip the lenses up and out of his eyes, revealing the intense gaze of the Protector that the three were used to seeing in the modern day. His eyes look first to Olivia, then to Luka, then to Gyre, and finally to Jane as he answers all of their questions.
"The crystals do not contain children. They contain fragments of magic that display something you are weak to. It is a self defense measure of the threat that this planet must be saved from. I do not yet know if they will fade in time or if they need to be eradicated to keep this world safe." He explains, reaching up to pull the lenses off of his head, apparently content to not put them back on. They disappear into nothing with a crackling pop.
"They will be gathered by sunset and dealt with." He adds, expecting that to reassure all of the ones he's facing. As he does, he motions a hand to force Luka's name badge up to float between them. He takes note of the braille on it and scrunches his eyebrows before he comments:
"And you, Eutychia? Any further questions or may I leave?"
