Let it be known that Esther is a brave girl, unafraid and unfazed by certain scary things that may have happened earlier in the day. The fact that her mother is with her on this new adventure is a mere comment of practicality... nothing more. After all, who would carry her snacks? And if this adventure led to finding treasure that was too heavy for her to carry who else would carry it but her mom? Yes, having Asther around was very smart.

Though Asther showed much less interest in finding treasure, she did occasionally indulge her daughter. And after such an exciting day where the girl met a bunch of new friends and was almost swallowed by the whole of Darkness... she figured it was probably a good idea to keep a closer eye on her today. So she had sworn to be fairly hands off unless the girl needed her she was resigned to fade into the background for most of this adventure.

Esther on the other hand was all in turning over rocks and looking in nooks and crannies determined that she was going to find something shiny to bring home with her. When they entered the large room full of various vases and containers Esther thought for sure she had hit the jackpot. She danced in place excitedly looking back and forth from her mother to the vases as though to say look what I have found! Her mother simply gave her a nod and tried to stifle a yawn. There was no danger here.

Of course, nothing is ever as it seems, as the young girl was about to find out. As though reacting to their presence, the vessels in the room began grumbling and mumbling, much to both girls surprise. At first Esther moved quickly to her mother, just to make sure that the vessels had a little bit of room to move around, not because she was afraid or anything. But once the containers began conversing amongst themselves curiosity got the better of her.

The girl listens for a moment before daring to join in berating the containers with questions excitedly. Did they know where treasure was? Did they know the beings that used to live in these dungeons? Did they themselves have treasure inside of them? Would it be rude of her to take off their Lids to see for herself? The last question had her mother moving to her and nudging her, a silent reminder to mind her manners. When the vessels complained of their hunger after look to her mother with pleading eyes and was quickly handed a small number of snacks to divide amongst the containers.
