[ The water begins to bubble, rising up and up in the bowl like a fountain, until it spills out of the bowl in waves, soaking into the dirt and around them. Still, though it overflows, the bowl seems no less empty than before - and the water climbs up and up and up, until the fountain becomes the gentle waterfall of a small stream no bigger than the circumference of the bowl. Through the waterfall, you can see -
Like a broken tail light, flickering and inconsistent in its brightness, a lump of faulty lighting takes center stage of the waterfall, by and large covered up by the tattered, human-like skinsuit you could recognize as Mehniel, though their outer layer is torn enough that you can see bits of feather and fur poking out, and on the floor around them are abandoned bits of feather and hair too, dim light now that they've been torn out. Behind them you can catch the vague shape of something, though you'll largely see the lights illuminating it from underneath a bevelled stone indent in the ground. Currently, the lights are a dull, constant red. If you squint you can see a glimpse of the wall behind; on it are hieroglyphs, unreadable to you. ]

Of course we are. And that's why we're going to return the favor, no matter what.

Is there anything you know that might help? [ His eyes travel behind Mehniel ] It looks like they're keeping you in a ... crypt?

[ His eyes drift to the background again, and - ] Wait. [ He squints, leaning closer to the holy water in an attempt to read (and briefly jerking back when he gets a droplet splash in the face for his efforts. ]
Those are hieroglyphs.

[ picks up. . . whatever it is that's on their side, scooping it up with two hands to lift it up for him to better see what's behind them ]
