Arianna, catching the glint in Gladius's eye, chimed in with a mischievous grin. "Of course they would be. People so sneaky have a lot of skeletons they're hiding in their closet. It's going to be intriguing to dig up those skeletons. Who knows what kind of forgotten magics or forbidden techniques they might be guarding?"

"Right..." she said, clearly deciding to steer the conversation away from potentially dangerous territory. "Just remember, curiosity is all well and good, but some secrets are kept hidden for a reason. The Ethereal Night Syndicate isn't a group to be trifled with lightly."
She clapped her hands together, changing the subject with practiced ease. "Now, how about we go inside and see what the Saint Soaring Stone has to offer? I promise you, it's an experience unlike any other."
