Ro approaches another sylph while he sits on the caravan's transport. He pours himself a drink from a thermos as he addresses Ro.
Zyr
Your kills sure are getting...
... like... dramatic.
Ro
What in Erj is that supposed to mean?
Concerned, Zyr looks at Ro even as she refuses to meet his eye.
Zyr
Come on, Ro, you know how Eld is.
This is just an escort. There wasn't even supposed to be any combat.
Ro
There never is.
Zyr
Isn't that, like, a good thing?
You used to be a lot more-
Ro
I joined the Astral Templar to protect our faith, not our merchandise.
Zyr
...Just--
You're already up to your ears with the Mission Council.
You can't afford to be tearing thralls apart like...
Well, like one of them.
Ro pauses as she notices Zyr holding his thermos out to her, offering a drink and a warm smile.
She rolls her eyes and snatches the thermos from his hand, wiping the smile off Zyr's face.
Ro
...Yeah.
‘Moonstone’, as it is generally called, is a material found exclusively at sylph archaeological sites in Llyri. Malleable, durable, and yet lightweight, moonstone is a highly sought—and expensive—commodity with myriad applications, including the armour of the Astral Templar. In times of relative peace, Templar are given less 'glamorous’ assignments, such as defending shipments of this prized sylph export from bandits and thralls as it is hauled to nearby Erjan markets like Ras Huran.
