Rutile lets the words hang in the air. The remark is innocent, but they've been trying not to think about the fact that their skills are hardly in demand in the rest of Aifaran. Certainly Padparadscha will need a check-up on occasion, but they've fared this long without Rutile, and if the world is kind, will continue to do so.
Hopefully the drop in conversation is subtle, because the Opara Core appears as they round a corner and Rutile has an excuse to halt in their tracks. The Core gleams like mother-of-pearl, and though its design is simpler than most other buildings in the city, that doesn't stop it from being impressive in sheer magnitude. They spend a moment gazing at it, and then shake themselves from their reverie.
After that, Rutile's curiosity takes over, and they half-forget that Padparadscha is technically accompanying them as they hurry toward the edifice.
