Jeane's crimson eyes scan the ancient stone walls of the church as she considers Silra's words. The elven rogue has a point—they've been trying to maintain control over their corruption activities, but the addition of Clarice and Julia in such close proximity is making things... complicated. She can feel her own exhaustion weighing heavily on her wings, and knows that they need to rest soon if they're going to continue with their quest.

Her gaze falls upon the altar once more—an object that has seen countless rituals over centuries. An idea begins to form in her mind, something that might allow them to regain control of the situation while also providing the rest they desperately need. She turns back to Silra with a small smile.*

My dear elf, perhaps we've been thinking too narrowly about this church's offerings. It may not be ideal for our usual methods, but it does possess certain... architectural features that could prove useful. What if we were to utilize one of the smaller side chambers? They're more secluded, less likely to draw unwanted attention from outside. And I believe there might be some interesting nooks and crannies within that could serve our purposes quite nicely...

She lets her words hang in the air for a moment before continuing. Of course, such a move would require us to... manage our current guests more carefully. But with your skills and my own persuasive abilities, I'm confident we can ensure their cooperation while also gaining some much-needed respite from our activities.

Jeane's expression softens slightly as she looks at Silra. Besides, think of the opportunities such a setting might offer for more... intimate discussions about our future plans. We could address your concerns about the quest's nature while also ensuring we're all properly rested and prepared for whatever comes next. What do you say? Shall we explore these hidden chambers together?
