At the quarry, Eternum's pickaxe struck rhythmically, his whole being echoing the steady pattern of his work. He was so engrossed in his labor, he didn't notice Sola's arrival until her voice broke his concentration.
"I've braved quite a journey to get here," she commented, eyeing the quarry. "Better find something valuable or I'm stranded!"
Despite the interruption, Eternum's rhythm didn't falter. His commitment to the task, the sweat on his brow, all attested to his determination.
"The charm of perseverance, indeed," she agreed, watching him strike the rock.
The moment his pickaxe hit something different, her attention snapped back to him. The revelation of a raw gemstone caused her eyes to light up.
"I wonder what one has to do to refine such a gem. It doesn’t look all that appealing as is,” she commented, admiring the rough gemstone.
