A good sort of blinding... [It's... probably a metaphor, yeah. It sounds a little like the feeling of looking up at the sky of the newly accessible surface, the light of the sun filling his sockets...]

...Well, I do like to encourage everyone to admire my face. And if I'm as hope-inspiring as I like to think I am, then it must be that very light shining off of me! [Maybe more in a starlight way than a sunlight way for now, but who needs to actually express the kind of less than total self confidence aloud, right now?]
