The sound of the small bells at the door announced Spectre's entry into the Blade Gallery, prompting Aestus to lift his eyes towards the coming customer.
"Ah, my friend," Aestus said with an excited tone of voice, "you are back."
Spectre looked at him, examining him briefly yet subtly. 'I see. Even him too. Seems the NPC interactions are much better and improved. They can pass as fellow humans at this point.'
Spectre nodded his head. "Yes, I'm back. Remember I told you that I will return to get the fiery sword."
Aestus massaged his chin as if contemplating something. This very gesture stirred up a little worry inside of Spectre.
"Hope it's still around," Spectre chipped in just to verify the status of the item that he had come for.
"You mean the Suncracker, right?"
He acknowledged, with a nod, what Aestus had just mentioned.
"Yes. It's the Suncracker. That's what I'm here for."
