There was so much to see, so much to take in, it was almost too much.
Quanil hadn't expected anything like this, but... who could? They were drawn to the bobbing lights, the gathering voices. The cathedral that seems both natural and not, and the ethereal orbs... Who could resist coming to check it out, especially when they were so possessed of curiosity it seemed to have replaced their very blood?
They did notice Miss Haai, but there was already a thronging crowd between them and the collected glow of so many... whatever they were. Then they saw Miss Isuma and instinctively took a step back.
I didn't technically disobey, they reminded themselves. I'm an adult and I'm a Loreseeker and it's okay that I'm here. And even if it's not, well... I am here anyway!
Easier thought than said, certainly, especially if they got even the vaguest hint that the guild master might be upset with them. For now, better to stay back, away from familiar faces who might call out to them and alert Provost Silversmith to their presence.
Besides, there was so much to wonder at here, so much to wonder about, and they'd never let a little thing like "common sense" stop them before. Why start now?
