[Lyle had met with many a friend in the S-Yard to talk about clandestine matters. He'd never had such a talk with Krile, so it hadn't occurred to him that was the nature of this. Though the mention of Crystala got a raised brow.]

Multiple statues melted? That doesn't sound like the sort of thing that could just happen naturally. [Then again, what WAS natural about this place?] My first thought is that it could be one of those dragons that roams around here. But could one actually sustain a flame long enough and hot enough to melt this?

[He knew next to nothing about the dragons around here. With Krile being the resident expert on those, so he figured she'd be able to weigh in on their capabilities.]
