[When Lapis had accepted this quest, she figured it would be simple enough - go into some ruins, retrieve the artifact (some weird cactus-looking statue?) and then go hand it for gil. Easy enough.
Except these ruins have involved every kind of rudimentary puzzle possible, from block-pushing to stepping onto stones in time with some pattern randomly displayed on the wall. It feels like no matter how far in they go, they just get set back or held up for like thirty minutes by another 'match the pattern' game. Even for someone as patient as Lapis, this was getting rather annoying.
At least she isn't alone in this, though by now she just wants to get that statue and get out.]
Why are there so many puzzles... The quest details never said anything about this statue being super important.
[Or maybe whoever made this temple was just super bored. Or sadistic. Or both.]

[As an Astrologian, or at least a basic one, Lapis is here to provide some support for her other party members! Luckily she was with others when the hostile (hopefully not a Tonberry) approached them, since it's not as if she has much in terms of attack strength. At least Major Arcana provides some good buffs for more offensive-orientated companions, so she just needs to draw a card and -
- And it's Spear.
Dammit.]
I hope you didn't need the buff right now. [Now she needs to wait until she can draw again, so she'll just... believe in her companions strength. And hope they can help defend her too, since she's too squishy for direct combat.]
Give me a moment, I'll try to draw again. [Why can't she just throw out the Spear, it's such a useless card-!!]
