There are some people out there who have truly met misfortune. In light of that, what has happened to us seems... well, a little less terrible.
[ being broke doesn't quite compare to losing all your loved ones and world, but at least they're still able to do things like this. on some level, siegfried probably realizes he was scammed, but played along just in case the man's story actually was true. ]
Oh? Are you certain? Hm... it seems a bit improper for a maiden to dirty their hands like this, but I'll happily accept your aid.
[ but... he'll hand her his helmet, which he's still been sort of awkwardly carrying along. ]
Please, use this to dig. [ it'll take him forever to get the sand out but... chivalry!!! ]
[ She nods solemnly—being broke is a truly harrowing experience. Why, she never had to even think about money at all before arriving here—she just bought whatever she pleased and her parents' creditor took care of it all! Now... she finds herself quickly running out of coin and wondering where it all went when she does.
It doesn't occur to her whatsoever that maybe she shouldn't spend it just like she used to. ]
Nonsense! I am not a maiden so easily put off by a bit of sand! I insist.
[ At least she's willing to put in the work. She uses his helmet to scoop up chunks of sand—it's a little awkward, but she's doing it with gusto. Soon enough, there's a little mountain of sand next to her.
Eventually, her (his?) helmet hits something that isn't sand. ]
[ her own enthusiasm is rather infectious, as siegfried begins digging with renewed fervor as well. he's not entirely sure this is the correct spot, so he occasionally glances around to make sure no one is objecting to them doing this.
but... so far, it seems like no one really cares. until the sand of metal hitting metal, anyway. ]
It can't be... you truly found something?
[ it's not that he didn't trust the map, but... well, maybe deep down, he truly didn't believe it would yield results. siegfried moves over, clearing the sand around the object and... discovering that they've found a small chest.
it's rather ornately decorated, despite its small stature. ]

This truly is treasure. [ wonders never cease. ]
