This isn't helpful. Even in his own mind, raw as this place makes him, he needs to remember why he's here, his goals, what serves them—it is painful, yes, to share this temple with shemlen; to lash out now will only alienate him from the people he needs to be observing. What does it help, for him to be rude now? What has she done to earn it, except listen to him?
Talin breathes out, slow and deliberate, and approaches Abby, gaze sweeping the area in front of her. It's difficult to look at the temple with an objective eye, but if he ignores what it is he's looking at, if he only looks for the telltale signs of trapped walls, trick floor tiles—
"Difficult to say. You're safe to move forward, for now."
No traps that he can see, at least. This would be easier if they had a mage with them—Elvhen traps are more likely to be magical than mechanical.
"I know of another Temple to Falon'Din that required supplicants wade through a river of blood just to enter the antechamber. Between the effects of a thinned Veil and the magic laid into this place when it was an active temple..."
