"Let's break a piece off and study it."
Max's eyes lit up the moment that I said this before he turned to look at all of the relics that were still spread out.
The way that he looked at the relics, it was almost as if he was choosing groceries.
However, it wasn't as if I would let him choose and pick which relic we chipped a piece off of. I already had something in mind, which was why I immediately put away the rest of the relics.
As soon as those relics disappeared, he turned to look at me as if he was asking, "Are you seriously doing this?"
I knew that he was angry since he thought that I was going back on my word, but I just calmly said, "You don't get to touch any of these like that, they belong to someone else. Since they belong to someone else, it'll be troublesome if we damage them."
Though Max didn't say anything, his eyes were certainly more honest than he was.
"Why does that even matter to us?"
