As Kairos made his way back to the spiral staircase, he noticed that the two people arguing earlier had already begun making their way there.
As for Aria and the others, they were in the way, but hurriedly scampered off to the side after noticing the others making their way forth. Kairos didn't think too much about it, instead opting to go towards the staircase at the same pace he had before.
It did not take long for Aria and the others to see where he was going and decide to meet up with him once more.
Aria smiled cordially.
"Hey, you are going back to get some points, right?"
Kairos nodded absentmindedly, not even pausing in his travels.
Kyle did not make direct eye contact, but spoke up roughly as well.
"We can help you with the acquisition process so that we would all have an easier time with it."
Kairos did not pause, instead waving his hand dismissively.
"I'm just going to try and find some more red crystals, alright? I won't need much help."
Aria cleared her throat.
