       "Hmm.. So I guess the only way to know for sure is to find it,
       huh?" Lapis asked, scratching her chin interestedly with a
       crystal hoof, frowning in thought.
       It certainly seemed like an interesting venture, and it also
       didn't seem like Sero was all that keen on actually keeping the
       Heart for himself. If he wanted to do it for the History, he was
       welcome to it, she herself would be perfectly happy with a
       giant, magical gemstone. Even if it turned out it wasn't real,
       they could always split the profits of what they Did actually
       find.
       "Alright then, now for question three: You got room for another
       on your little quest, Sero?" Lapis asked, grinning now, leaning
       over her pickaxe with a determined look on her (scarred, but
       otherwise pretty) face, appearing confident, and rather
       interested in his investigations.
       "If you Do let me assist you in your venture, I guess we should
       discuss cuts, and the issues of expenses, funding any trips we
       make, and such. Maybe.. we could discuss these things over
       dinner? How does l'oignon heureux sound? At 8?" The crystal mare
       asked, her grin of determination and interest shifting into one
       that was ever so slightly more flirtatious.
       If there's one thing that Lapis appreciated in a stallion, it's
       that he was interesting, and Sero certainly seemed to be going
       places. He was polite too, clearly intelligent, with an interest
       in mines and crystals, and he wasn't bad looking either, Lapis
       thought to herself, her grin widening just a little as she
       awaited his response, the crystal mare having noticed his own
       obvious attempts at flirtation before then, but chosen to ignore
       them.

       "Yup," Sero replied, eyes finding their way back to the symbols
       being casted onto the ceiling, "no solid clues until we've got
       it in our hooves." As Lapis went on to ask her questions, Sero
       went back to examining the Durilli of Trasa, ears always kept
       focused on the mare though to show that he was indeed listening
       to her. Her first question brought his smile back to his face,
       him not surprised that the promise of adventure or treasure had
       yet again drawn a pony into wanting to be a part of what he was
       doing. The thought of having somepony with the clear expertise
       she possessed around as he traveled did sound helpful. "We just
       met and you already want to run off with me, Hm?" He said with a
       playful tone, "Bringing someone along, especially when they know
       what you do, doesn't sound too difficult. That pick of yours
       would probably come in handy as well I'd think."
       Then she went on to the next questions... And an offer to
       dinner. Eyes moving back up to the mare as his confident smile
       took on a lightly flirtatious shade of its own, he leaned
       forward a little himself, though he was doing so over his
       crystal, hooves reaching out and taking the Durilli as he
       replied, "Dinner? That sounds like a good idea. Would also be a
       good time for me to learn more of your expertise, as well as get
       you more up to speed on what I've found so far. I'll see you
       there." As he finished speaking, the stallion used a hoof to
       gently push and guide the token baring and floating section of
       the Durilli's ring back into place, it looking to fuse with the
       rest as the token was simultaneously ejected out of its slot and
       back into Sero's hoof, the glow of the crystal dying down along
       with its hum that slowly became silent just as the light faded
       completely.
       "Until then," he went on, taking it upon himself to remove one
       of the shades over the windows in order to have better light,
       him pulling out then shuffling through a small stack of notes
       before finding the one he was after and setting it down next tot
       he Fire rubythat once again shone brightly, "I've already looked
       into the proper shapes that the various gems should be cut into
       for the Durilli. That right there is what I've got for the Fire
       element. Should give you a better idea on how we may need to...
       trim the ruby down once we get moving. I should probably get
       back to my place and start reading. Make up for some time I lost
       on my way back to the city." Slipping the unneeded papers back
       into his pack along with the Durilli, Sero made his way over to
       the entrance of the shop to leave, him pausing as he opened the
       door. "I think I was right in my initial assumption when I found
       your shop, Miss Lazuli." He said, looking back over his shoulder
       to the mare, "I look forward to dinner." With that he began to
       trot away, the gears in his head already turning as his mind
       went back to focusing solely on the research that awaited him.

       Lapis remained silent as Sero concluded his business and
       departed, the ultramarine mare deciding that nothing else really
       needed to be said, as she watched the pale stallion depart with
       interest, before turning and beginning to pore over the designs
       he had left behind, to reshape the fire ruby.
       It hurt a little to sacrifice her fire Ruby, but the crystal
       mare was ready to do it, if it meant finding this Heart, and the
       immense wealth it was worth. Still, whether or not she actually
       went along with his plans and joined him, depended rather
       heavily on how well negotiations would go down that evening at
       the Happy Onion, in the space of a few short hours.
