Well, Io did tell me to ask if I needed help "wrangling" you. [ a bit wryly. but yeah, that is a better reason to be wary ]
At least take care of the wounds you can do something amount. [ as guy finishes up bandaging. putting fresh bandages over his petrified bits ] If I can get my hands on a Stone Bottle, I'll let you know.
So it is. Though I do not know to what end... If it were known to us, we may have begun searching for solutions before being pushed to this breaking point.
Perhaps. Of being discovered, or of sowing chaos. Regardless, we have been forced to enact change now, lest we doom all of humanity to starve and perish as Valisthea dies around us.
Yes, we have destroyed the crystals that siphon the aether from the world. It is... a radical choice, but one that is necessary. [ grimacing ] What do you mean, when you say you understand?
Change can be scary, especially relying on something you've used your whole life...
... Well, it's not quite the same, but in Auldrant, there's something called the "Score", which foretells everything that's supposed to happen. And the people have gotten reliant on it. Too reliant. So many people have died and suffered because of it.

It is an affliction in my world caused by the use of aether to create magic. It is... inevitable, and cannot be cured.
So do not worry too deeply.

Is it going to get worse?
no subject
No, I have no access to magic here.

[ okay guy will get to work cleaning the actual wounds with antiseptic and rebandaging ]
Maybe there's something that can be done here, with this technology.

I see little purpose. It will continue to progress once I return to Valisthea.

So you're not even going to try? Come on. If we've been dragged onto this ship, at least make use of whatever it has to offer.
no subject
I do not trust this organization to offer me any aid without taking something in return. It is not worth the risk.

It doesn't impact your land, either?

So using "aether" hurts you and your world?

But... yes.
