Jason was pretty flippant sometimes; he recognized the tone at once. And normally he'd feel the same way, but this object was definitely something.

"Whatever this thing is, it led me right to you," he pointed out. He turned one way and then another, noting how the glow brightened or dimmed depending on where Jason was facing. "Maybe it'll lead to more people, or a way out," he suggested. It was better than standing around in the middle of the forest.
