His stare is returned, albeit with their characteristic nothing.
They did wrong. Not on what they had braced for, but still, wrong. They will adjust their criteria for later. They have some items yet, but the geo is already being offered, and that is meant at the end of exchanges.
The price means nothing to them, with nothing to buy, having never used geo, and without going out of their way to find potential shopkeepers who might want some. They don't react to the offer at all.
Instead, they lift the gravestone.
They should have left it. They should return it to where it was put. But it had been put on the middle of the path, which is not where gravestones should be, either.
They should listen to Lemm. He is speaking straightforwardly as to what to do. They have no right to hesitate.
And yet.
They look down at the stone in their hand. (The paleness of the Idol gleams on the edge of their vision.)
The word beloved stands out. An age that is not old, but not young.
