Van had been telling stories about the new world he found; the mishaps, how Vivati ambushed him, how he is currently training his speed, about the ships they are building-- he told everything to Athena without missing even a single detail.
"You… really do seem more relaxed," as for Athena, she could not help but widen her eyes with how Van was talking. He was almost completely different from the Van she knew-- who always seemed to be carrying a huge burden inside him. Now, it felt like he was unbothered by everything that it seemed a bit… distracting.
"So… you're basically saying that you've been draining your blood to coat the ship?"
"That's pretty much it," Van shrugged, "The healers here tried their best to replicate my blood, but everything has been pretty much a failure."
"This ship… can I study it?"
"Sure, we have more ships being produced here anyway."
"!!!"
