Deciding to experiment with the rowboat turning, Lyle only rowed one oar. To his satisfaction, it worked! After he had begun turning clockwise, he addressed Agrarian's concerns. "Apologies, Sir Trivalti! It slipped my mind briefly... how to turn a boat in the water! Heh.." Now that they were turned, it was just a straight ride to this island Lyle mentioned. Agrarian's praise for his navigation skills were not lost on him; he accepted them silently, though his body was sending signals like fireworks that it was affecting him in the most positive ways. Praise from a Hero! Oh goodness, Lyle could barely contain his joy, he thought!

Though, as he brought up Alf.. he thought on it briefly. "Alf and I had the sort of relationship you would expect from an employer to his employee. I was just there for my eyes, since he was blind.. but also because he wanted me to ward off looters." He stopped rowing briefly to pop his fingers, but immediately continued, his energy still going strong. "I honestly think he could care less about our present company.. for all Alfonz cared, he could send me with the Demon Lord and not care, so long as she paid him." From Lyle's words.. it could be conveyed that Alfonz's main concern in life was money. "He's always tried to tell me that he was a seasoned privateer for the Order, in his prime, but... I find it hard to believe him. Why, he has no mementos of his former service! Given his eyes though.. maybe he thought our behemoth golem companion was just some giant of a man."

"Gee.. how blind d'ya have to be to make a mistake like that?" Mel questioned Lyle, who merely shrugged. "Pretty blind, I guess. You didn't see him, little one, but.. his eyes are blue with blindness and bruised from age.. it surprises me he can see at all!"

(For clairvoyance, Alf isn't completely blind, but it's bad enough to where his eyes are essentially useless.)
