Adam set his cup down and rose from his seat.
"I'll go gather some information."
Sylphy, who was busy stuffing another piece of cake into her mouth, glanced at him.
"Huh? Wasn't that enough already? We're only going to the temple, right? Besides, I still remember what the inside looks like!"
Sylphy shot him a sharp glare, clearly offended that Adam seemed to doubt her usefulness.
Adam glanced at the tiny spirit.
"This is about something else."
"Something else?"
"Something that might be worth knowing before we leave."
Without explaining further, Adam turned toward the table where the earlier conversation had taken place.
Azrynn watched him go, then took a small sip of her drink. She seemed curious about the rumor as well, although she made no move to follow him.
Adam approached the group with a relaxed smile, as though he had simply noticed some acquaintances and wanted to join their conversation.
"Mind if I sit here for a moment?"
