oh no, what if... bird...

[Once Liem locates the carved stone from his vision, mixed in amongst a sea of other similarly-sized boulders that makes up a gravel pathway, he tucks himself into a space between two of the huge rocks, and he simply waits. Fortunately, the stone from atop Quetz’s temple is relatively near the edge of the path, so there’s only a small chance of a worker stepping on it while they thunder past. Unfortunately, there isn’t any plant cover at all over the area where the rock is, which means anyone and anything glancing that way will be able to see the tiny people clambering around out in the open.

Unsurprisingly, the stone itself is much more obvious than Liem himself at the moment. He peers back at Quetz from his hiding place clinging to the rounded side of one of the pathway rocks, brightening visibly at the sight of her but not waving himself. He’s seen more than a few enormous birds fly overhead as he was waiting, and he’s not keen to get mistaken for a tasty bug.

You could say I have professional experience in this area, but in this instance, the size certainly helps.

[With finding it, at least. It had also, obviously, made bringing the item back with him rather impossible. As he speaks, Liem emerges slowly from his hiding place, crawling up the rock like a spider to perch once again on its top surface.]

Will you be able to move it? The terrain here is a little challenging.
