Her amulet. His gaze caught onto her own, and his expression turned serious for the next few moments, as if the information was crutial to both of them if they were to partake in this archaeological adventure. He pointed lightly to her amulet from where he sat, his own legs crossing into a lotus though not as fluidly as her own. Her questions were heard, her mutter too, yet he did not simply smile. His next few words were but whispers, and it was clear that he meant every one of them. "I can tell you this, and you must naturally share this with none. I did not create a new amulet out of ours combined. Your amulet, the one that you found wherever you ran across it, is the one that absorbed mine. Think of all the amulets as puzzle pieces, with yours being the large and most centered piece. All the other pieces, if come in contact with yours, attach themselves to it. That is why your amulet remains the same shape. That is why the purple light fades, and that is truly why I leave it with you."<br/><br/>He paused for a few moments, gazing over her in a slightly interested manner. "I do not know how you came to find the most valuable piece of the puzzle...and I will not pry. All I do know, is that these pieces are a part of a much bigger picture. A picture that I have not fully imagined yet. Things of such magnitude do not happen by chance, nor do magical items, especially ones as special as these just randomly fall into someone's hands. For some reason, and as corny as this sounds, the amulet chose you...and it fate's hand is at work, it has sent me to be your messenger and guide." <br/><br/>After a moment of silence, his serious look finally broke to give room for a smile in its place. The tension finally seemed to have been cut, and her own amulet lied against her chest, beneath her sweater as if nothing happened. "Some things are simply more dazzling to see, before they are discussed. Even if it gives the person a little scare. Alas, apologies for all the mystery. You've certainly captivated me, Athena, but I seem to have been stepping on all the wrong toes. At least I know that my risk in approaching you paid off, and that perhaps we can solve this mystery together, hand in hand." <br/><br/>He flashed her a teasing smile, his shoulders shrugging lightly as his knees brushed against her own in teasing. "Unless my charming smile is not enough for you. Then I'll just pretend nothing's happened and leave you to be as free as you wish." He snickered lightly, flashing her a handsome smile. </span>
