Ales' words struck Baralai hard. He lowered his head and closed his eyes. What he learned of Yevon was something he was born to believe in and to think of it as a cult did put his mind in a troubled place. He was trying to fix those problems but it seemed that being here wasn't something that others would understand.

He listened to Ales while he thought on those words. "Knowledge of any kind be it magical or mechanical is handy."

Baralai was still caught on the fence between understanding more about machines and his religious practices. For now, he chose to not go much further in the debate. He wasn't going to discourage others from trying which ever would work best for them. He opened his eyes and looked at the pile of books. "I still have a lot I need to learn myself."
