[ Thancred doesn't hold that flash of surprise against Viktor. This is not the sort of thing that anyone should expect him to know about, in all honesty, and it's not as if he'd directly impacted much of what they'd done with Eden. It had mainly been the combined work of Ryne and Himeka, along with Urianger's knowledge around aetherology.
Knowing that this will not be the fastest of explanations, Thancred glances about for the closest set of chairs and moves to sit in one, expecting that Viktor will join him before long. He's seen what that device etched in runes can do, he understands what it's for, so now he can offer what he knows. On the off chance it helps, even if the situations are quite different.
Once he's seated, he leans forward to rest his forearms on his thighs and starts to explain. ]
I say device, but it was enormous. It was a ship, really. It could be moved around via control panels inside, to travel across the Empty. That's the land stripped of aether I mentioned. [ Self explanatory, perhaps. ] But it was also sentient, to some degree. It was a massive sin eater — a creature of such abounding light that it was responsible for bleeding the land dry in the first place. Yet it also had the energy and ability to reverse that damage, with the right encouragement.
[ Thancred pauses then, realizing how much information he's conveying, much of it likely incomprehensible to someone who isn't from the Source or the First. He wants to offer the space for Viktor to process, or ask questions if need be. ]
