"Are you well?" Drizzt asked.
"Overwhelmed, maybe," Sharrevaliir told him. "You have often said it was beautiful, and I have seen the way Qilué encouraged drow art in the Promenade, but…" He gestured helplessly at the multifaceted crystals, the ambient glow of power within them all. He flicked his attention to the quicksilver salamander Drizzt had befriended. "…it's unlike anything I know, and yet so enticing."
Drizzt smiled. "At least in here, you don't need our Lady's artifact to be able to see. It actually provided me some protection from my own kind, as I have yet to meet a drow that makes the change in vision as easily."
"Which may extend to the creatures even," Sharr said, smiling. "Alright, I know we're here to harvest a small crystal for Elminster, but is there anything else you intend for me to experience?"
Drizzt laughed, very softly. All of their sounds had been careful and quiet, yet that had not prevented them from having several violent encounters. Drizzt knew Sharr had a new appreciation for how he had survived ten years alone in the wilds now.
"I was hoping for a particular fungus to share for our meal, and there it is. I'll gather that, if you can fish up one of the beetles from the fissure for our guide here."
The salamander hissed in delight for that, leading Sharr to agree readily. This expedition was teaching him much, and adding 'fishing for beetles' was just one more part of it.
