"Y-yeah. I mean, I've shown you the Hall, so if there are no questions… we'll move on to the next place on our list." Mi'ja replied with a rather daring smile.

Instead, she went for a rather surprising question.

"What are your thoughts on humans?"

The moment this question echoed into the air, some kind of tense silence suddenly enveloped everything around the three.
