Kit: "...So, the weather's nice. We should be getting there pretty fast."

Lena: "Yes..."

Is this ring set with an Elemain crystal, by any chance?

Kit: "Ok, so I don't mean to pry, but how important is this ring? I mean, it's not like it's set with Elemain or something, right?"

Lena: "..."

Kit: "That ring is totally an Elemain artifact, isn't it?"

Lena: "Yes. Yes, my ring is an Elemain artifact. That doesn't change the fact that it's lost, and that you are hired to find it."

Hmm. It sounds like somebody betrayed her trust. But that's personal, and you're here for professional reasons. For now, at least, it's best to stick to what's relevant.Ask if she expects any sort of trouble in finding the ring. That's something you might have to deal with, after all.

Well, it looks like she isn't really going to open up much, but I might as well keep asking things.

Kit: "I'm sorry if I seem persistent, but are you really sure that someone hasn't already taken it? I mean, it is an Elemain artifact. That in of itself is quite rare already."

Lena: "I am sure, because if it were found, then a certain somebody would have already let me known. And I would probably...well, it won't be good, I can say that.

Kit: "Okay, so, now we know that we're not the only ones after the ring. And we also know that the ring is an Elemain, so it might be worth something to somebody. But...are you really sure you just dropped it? I mean, something that valuable, there's no way you would actually just carelessly drop it, right?

Lena: "...I'll just say that I may have thrown away the ring on purpose due to...tenuous circumstances. But now I don't know where it is after I dropped it, which is why I came to you for help. You...you'll be able to find it, right?"

Kit(!) Justify the Exlaimation mark I have given your name and Declare you'll return her ring whatever the cost

Kit: "The fact that you came to us means that you know a bit of our reputation. Sure, Aera's a bit crazy and eccentric sometimes, but, we are Venteux Services. We will get this job done and find your ring. Anyways, we're just looking for a ring. I mean, how dangerous can this ge--"

THUD

Kit: "What was that? Did something land on our tax--"

VREEEEEEEEEN
