Erasmus shakes his head and claims he doesn't know anything about Tempus, apparently being just as in the dark as Morrighan felt. No matter, she had a good enough idea of the god anyway. Knowing more about him would probably not give her a very strong advantage (at this rate it's unclear if she'd ever find the relic).
She follows his eyes and looks up at the sky to see four birds circling them overhead. They are black as night with beady red eyes that seem to burn into her soul. In a way, they remind her of the creepy demonic vulture that the hooded woman kept as her companion. They are certainly acting like vultures, although do not look exactly like them. Just another thing to add to the list of reasons why the island sucked. Morrighan thinks to herself that she needs to get off this island sooner.
A breeze passes through as Erasmus begins to walk forward. Morrighan follows suit and keeps to his side. He guesses that she's not here for a casual stroll and the comment makes her laugh. It was not a very hearty laugh, more like a snort. "No, definitely not," she answers quickly. There were certainly other places she'd rather be, but the thrill of the hunt was keeping her here for now. Though that thrill was quickly dissipating the more she searched and came up empty handed.
He then proposes that the relic is at the bottom of a volcano and that is what truly makes Morrighan laugh. "Well, that would really suck then. What a way to go," she replies dryly yet again. She thinks of what poor unfortunate soul might take a chance at getting to the relic in that situation. They would be a true dumbass, that's for sure.
Morrighan follows where Erasmus' gaze keeps going now - towards the ocean and the mad waters. She remembers the creatures that went in circles and got closer and closer to the bridge while she walked. She remembers the tentacles too, stretching out almost as if they were reaching right for her to reel her in. That was a time she had been scared, but she'd never utter those words to anyone. Instead, she decides to mess with him instead.
"What's the matter? Afraid one of the ocean monsters are going to come up and eat you?" she asks with a smirk. They are not so close to the shore (thankfully), but who really knew what was out there anyway.
