[ Thank goodness they're in the middle of nowhere, and Set can so boldly say such things. He'd say them in the middle of the city, too, but at least out in the Beyond, Liem will not have to suffer the mortification of someone overhearing it. Like his nosy neighbors, for example. Who knows if they've yet written him off as a lost cause, given the number of times Set has invaded his home via the front door ( and now, periodically through the cracks and seams of a window ).
He perches on the broad width of a branch, all pirouette and graceful limb, holding Liem without a hint of strain in his arms. A great predator animal resting at height, balanced high enough up that they can peer out across the tops of trees — the majority, at least, for the Beyond is dense and rife with oddities that will endanger them without fail — to seek any sight of the temple in the distance. And in the distance, there is something. The sign of something among the trees, dark and eclipsing even the natural shadow; it has sharper angles than the natural, organic spread of the native foliage, and Set's eyes pick it out after a moment of carding back and forth across the northern horizon. ]
— I can see it. It looks much like the one you saw in your vision, Liem. Can you confirm? The pillars, the overgrowth?
