After walking for half an hour in the darkness, the ground seemingly began to change, prompting Dale to tap his foot around as he felt something was off.

"Hm?... This is… Stone?" Dale asked as he tapped his foot on the ground

"Can you be more specific, I can't quite see the ground from my angle and I'm pretty sure we're surrounded by those." 

"It's different, this is… Smooth stone."

Dale crouched, using his gauntlets to wipe some of the dirt and dust from the ground, revealing an old, clear ceramic tile.

To show this to David, he unwrapped him from his waist.

"Oho? This is rather unusual, it seems to be a piece of ceramic, a tile to be precise."

"Try clearing more of the dirt, see if there's more." He asked as he raised an eyebrow

Dale did as he was told, already planning to do such a thing from the beginning.
