Miwa listened to Arcan's words silently as she turned back, giving another glance at the painting. She did not know what happened to break the group nor what was the grave transgression mentioned by the elf woman, but by Arcan's tone and the animosity he showed made Miwa think it must have been something significant.

[color=6ecff6]"Perhaps your master's intentions behind keeping this painting was simply due to fond memories from his past and not a hateful reminder of an act of betrayal. Regardless of the treachery that might have split the group, I am sure they all once had fond memories of each other... Maybe even in the end, they still harbored some good memories from their past."[/color] Miwa said with a smile as she looked at the painting on the other side of the hall.

[color=6ecff6]"People change. Sometimes for the better... others for worse. Regardless, there is nothing wrong in keeping fond memories of one's past. As long as you keep moving forward instead of being trapped in the past."[/color] Miwa completed with a smile as she looked to Arcan, hinting that maybe, some of those words could be important for him as well.

[color=6ecff6]"It might not be exactly the same thing, but the way I feel for my temple is somewhat similar. I feel great pride for it's history, but this didn't prevent me from noticing that the temple needs to change if it wants to survive the passage of time."[/color] Miwa continued.

[color=6ecff6]"You mentioned an eighth member of the group, didn't you Jazdia? I am sure you also have fond memories, despite having parted ways, right?"[/color] Miwa said, remembering Jazdia having mentioned an eighth member a while ago. What Miwa failed to consider though was the possibility that the eighth member didn't just parted ways with the group... but something worse might had happened.

[color=6ecff6]"You admired and loved your master quite a lot, didn't you?"[/color] Miwa asked with a smile as her eyes wandered from the painting, stopping on the same cluster of crystals Arcan looked at. Something Miwa had taken for just an eccentric way to illuminate the room.

"I thought this crystal was merely a way to illuminate the room. Was it a part of one of Theriadore's creations?"[/color] Miwa asked, curiously.
