Through the haze of his self-inflicted misery, something shiny caught Steven's attention. If the rose color of the crystal wasn't distinctive enough, the shape (even in miniature) was a dead giveaway. It was enough of a distraction for him to find his voice again.
"It looks a lot like the Anistar Sundial." His voice was quiet and withdrawn, yet the most confident he'd sounded since the start of the meeting. "Like the others have said, it's a monument in a city in Kalos."
He was unsure if he should continue, but Lucien's words-- about knowing the truth-- echoed in Steven's mind. A pursuit of knowledge of the unknown; the same thing that frustrated him here and now with the shadows. The least he could do was share what he knew with Lucien.
"I've visited it in person myself. It's really quite extraordinary, even if it's a sundial in name only. It doesn't exactly tell time," he said with emphasis, "more like acknowledges it. So to see it replicated in a pocket watch is a bit puzzling."
While he spoke, his head peeked higher and higher from his cloak. "Even more puzzling is that no one really knows its origins; where it came from or who constructed it. A true geological wonder, though, regardless."
But Steven quickly became aware of how much he was talking and ducked lower once again, half-burying his eye in his cowl.
"The significance of it as one of your family's heirlooms, though, I'm not sure."
