Reaching the top of the hill, Daphne's look did not go unnoticed. The curse-breaker's message was received, loud and clear. Zeke followed closely, keeping low as he slinked into position beside her, peeking out from the side of the rock to see the grounds below.
..... neat. AND muggle free. Bonus? He was actually almost conflicted on this point.
Though his eyes were glued to the ruin, Daphne's words were crystal clear and he nodded his understanding of her assessment. It was a fair call and he could see the logic in it - something he might do well to remember in the future.
Given the all clear, Zeke followed after his mentor, untucking his elbows for balance as he quickly descended after her. Already his head was a jumble of the various runes that he had studied. What were they looking for exactly? Would there be a puzzle? Would they have to produce or destroy a stave?
His gaze shifted from the rocky structures to Daphne and back again. Which rune meant 'to open'? None with a meaning that specific came to mind, unless she was tricking him? "Laguz is sometimes known as the rune of revelation... it can be used to uncover hidden things," he supplied, giving his best answer - if not the correct one. And there was something about what it concealed too, wasn’t there? Like, it was highly regarded with travel and successful acquisition - which made sense consdiering their aim was to acquire something, an artefact - the only thing was, it was usually also associated with loss or obstacles and challenges... which again, made sense.
As they neared Zeke's gaze was already inspecting the structures, though he made sure not to advance ahead of Daphne, yet.
