Lith looked at the old man with a neutral gaze. Did the old man think that by saying such a thing, he would fall for it? What sort of idiotic trap is this?

Lith looked around to see if there's any other route he could take and avoid this thing in front of him. But apart from the white and gold pavilion, there was nothing else present in the space he was in.
