Jin took a deep breath, staring at the relic without blinking. This time, I was sure, he did not act. I couldn't help but ask Ignis if it was real, if it wasn't a replica like what I made to fool the magician, and Jin replied by answering the Pope's question.
[What do you think?] the Pope smiled.
[Yes] Jin nodded, replying almost in a daze. [Yes, this is what I've been looking for]
[I'm glad] the Pope's smile grew wider, while the pale eyes grew colder.
Oh, I didn't like that smile. Jin didn't like it either; it was clear from how much his hands tensed up along the box of relics, which gradually retreated from the middle of the table. I was sure he wanted to hide the relics right away, but he couldn't do that before asking what he was there for.
