Cirilla & ChiselEcho
Cirilla
I heard there's a stone relic from the old war that might still be holding secrets. Ever heard about it?
ChiselEcho
I’ve heard of a few stone relics from the old war that people say hold secrets. The problem is that most “secrets” turn out to be old graffiti or a clever prank. If you’re serious, I’ll need to catalog the marks under magnification before I can say anything. Just remember that stone is a stubborn keeper of information; it won’t give up its secrets unless you ask the right question.
Cirilla
Sounds like a solid plan, let me know when you’ve got the magnifier ready and I’ll help craft the questions. We’ll get those secrets talking.
ChiselEcho
Fine, I'll get the magnifier out of the storage case and set up a proper light source. Meanwhile, grab a notebook; when the stone speaks, you’ll want a clear set of questions, not a stream of nonsense. We'll make sure the questions are as sharp as the tool we use.
Cirilla
Got it, notebook’s ready. Let’s line up the questions and keep them tight. We'll crack the stone when it’s ready to talk.
ChiselEcho
Great, just remember the questions should be as precise as the chisel. Too broad and the stone will ignore them, too harsh and we’ll damage a fragment. Let’s keep them tight, keep the light steady, and let the stone decide when it’s ready to speak.
Cirilla
Sounds like a plan, we’ll keep it tight and steady, no surprises. Let's get to work.
ChiselEcho
All right, let’s get the light right and the questions poised. I’ll set up the magnifier and we’ll see what the stone wants to tell us. No surprises, just precise work.
