In answer to Milo's question, Arialla held up the mirror, turning it in her hand so that he -- and Melita, if she liked -- could get a good look at it. "Maybe -- it would make sense for it to come from them, wouldn't it? I wonder if I can get the glass fixed ..."
It might make a good offering for Safrin, if she could, but Arialla wasn't about to give the goddess something broken. If repairs weren't feasible, she could always trade it for something more useful. Either way, Arialla didn't really intend to keep it, but she also didn't suggest that she share her find with Milo or Melita. The idea of doing so was at the back of her mind -- they had come out to this beach together, after all -- but she'd rather not, so she didn't suggest it.
"I'll put it aside for now," Arialla said, sliding the mirror into one of the bags she'd brought and putting it on the sand near the "might be salvageable" pile. "We still have work to do."
With that, she decided to go back to moving debris, picking up a long piece of wood.

With the mirror found, Arialla's going to return to the main task of sorting and moving debris!
please don't take my sunshine away
