==Dialogue==
After collecting Lady Laurent's reagents and notes:
"Still as the stone that walks. Yes. They remember, you know! They carry their histories, etched in their flesh!"
:Walking stone? Is that poetic or literal? "Hearken, wayfarer! They were here before the walls rose, and they are here after! And yet some mock these lowly creatures for worshiping them. What folly! The flying stones hold the secret you seek. In their unyielding flesh that is not flesh."
::Are you as crazy as you pretend to be? "There are no dunes without wind, yet when the wind is gone, the dune remains. Eh? Tongues of stone, young seeker. Tongues of stone."
After reading the tablets near the western colonnade:
"You have answers? Answers are more to me than water! Answers! Answers!"
:So, you're looking for an answer to a riddle? "A riddle? No! The riddle. The one these ruins whisper every night! The one that hums through the walls when the sun beats upon them! You know whereof I speak. You've read the three inscriptions. If you haven't, what are you waiting for?"
::The answer is "time." "No, no! You are blithering! Concentrate, seeker! Ignore the importunities of the hovering eyes of flame, as I do!"
::I think the answer you're looking for is "air." "Air … yes, that's it! The breeze, the breath of Tava! Ah, devious Sep, you wind a fateful path in this desert! Here, then, is your answer: within the maw and between the teeth! The gargoyle cannot hide its mortality forever!"
::"Life" is the answer, I think. "No, no! Do you think I have not thought of that? Codswallop! Invert your concepts! You speak like a child licking its first fish."
