[Break is just nice enough not to mention that he was conscious at the time, even though he cannot help but be delighted at having found something that makes mister big badass fancypants magical soul shield squirm. It's not as though he is pleased by being down an entire eyeball, nor does he intend to do anything gross like give Qrow a look at it. It had been genuinely hurtful a decade ago, when young Gilbert was so distressed by the sight he outright shoved him away.]

It isn't something that bothers me anymore. As far as old injuries go, at any rate. Mm, but -- you see why it means something to me if you say everybody escaped with all their useful bits still attached. Especially given...what I'd heard of the place.

[He does not mention, of course, that it was the pale Alice who relieved him of that eyeball, or that she did so in order to give it to her blind cat to use instead and said cat will still be running around with it in his own head if he ever turns up here. Break won't ever forgive her for that, per se. But he's made his peace with how she became the sort of person who would do such a thing on a whim, and is slowly trusting her more and more in her resolution not to hurt anyone anymore. She's shockingly stable in this place, compared to how he was when they met.

Still weird as shit, mind. But stable.]
