Following Verstael into a research area, Ardyn proceeded to look around.

"This is the fruit of my labour, well a small portion of it that is. I envy you. A human life as too short to truly understand all there is to know about the world. Feel free to go and take a look around." Verstael smiled, letting Ardyn wander the research area.

Ardyn nodded, grateful for the freedom given to him to explore to his hearts content and proceeded to make his way over to a large table that appeared to show a full scale map of their world. "This is our world?" he asked nobody in particular.
