As much as he'd gotten a bit of amusement out of watching Ian's initial reaction to Sun, that comment and the way Sun wilted a bit at how frightened Ian seemed rather soured the joke. He cleared his throat in the somewhat pointed way that one did when they wished to gently call attention to themselves and shift the focus of the conversation, stepping forward to offer Ian a hand up himself. "Might I remind you of what I said a few moments ago?", he said, his tone still mildly pointed. "Those who you meet here are people, not characters, however similar they may seem to those you know of."
The point hopefully made, his tone softened slightly. "There is no need to fear; Sun is quite harmless, I assure you, even if his appearance can be rather... surprising at first. The issue is with his counterpart, Moon; unlike Sun, Moon is... unstable, to put it mildly. He is why we need help from someone with your expertise."
