Through all the arguing, Rev and Gen both stayed silent. They stood behind Iroku, as they saw him as protection, but they preferred to not speak, and instead listen and learn. Grinning when the commander complimented, and frowning when Iroku put down their tech idea to save the planet, their expressions seemed to change, at every word said. But that was how kids learned; role-models. And for the two incarnations, even with the knowledge the Archive had given, they still lacked the basics. Deeper emotions, knowledge of people themselves in personality, motives, reactions, and everything else that made up being 'sentient.' After all, magic could only teach so much.
And as The Commander and Archon seemed to trust the Merchera, and the kids trusted Archon and The Commander, the fact the Merchera could not be read through their heart, didn't seem to bother two children as much as it usually did when they could not see the motives of others. Since their role-models trusted, they trusted.
After observing the conversation to the point the Merchera had made their decision, the two finally dared speak up.
"Why is tech bad?" Rev questioned of Iroku.
To the Mechera, however, Gen commented. "You could stay here with us if you want! I mean... if that's okay with Archon."
