as you ask Lydia about the mine, two of the smaller kids get teary eyed at the sole mention
-"I thought I had asked you to wait until we where out..." she gives you a mild glare and shakes her head, how insensitive!
you do not think using the powers granted to you by nature itself to amuse little kids is going to do ANYONE any good at all, but yeah, why not, what better way to defuse tension than some entertainment, you decide to juggle for the kids a bit, after all, you've done it for quite a while back at the inn, however, it soon comes to your attention that this armour, aside from warm and cozy, IS a bit bothersome and restricts you from moving as freely as you are used, resulting in a bunch of fallen onions.
... after with Lydia politely asks you to STAY OUT until she gives them their blessing.
three minutes later, Lydia comes out with a charm made out from flowers, it would have looked quite good on you but she doesn't seems very pleased right now, she just signals you to move along and return to the temple
once on the way, she makes sure nobody follows
-"The mine was opened six months ago, well, more than mine, it was a cave, our people found gems preety easily, so there was little digging to be made, all but some service tunnels or reinforcing structures as it got deeper, last month, there where talks about digging further in, but there was a lot of disagreeing considering the danger involved"

she gazed over in the sunset's direction, then back at you
-"the first case happend soon after, the mine isn't that far off, you could walk it in six hours, but to be safe and help with the burden of tools, we used carriages that make it consideably faster, one of them used to go per week, a good Horse could take you there in no time, but most horses refuse to get near the entrance"
she stops at the main square and glanced around "the first one.. we thought she killed her neighbor out of jealousy, so we let it go, but then, every week, every time a group returned, two or three would act strangely, some killing themselves, some harming others, it was until a whole group returned demented that we decided to forget about the mine, but every now and then, curious travelers wander in and they all seem to find their way back here, probably the safest bet is to seal down the thing..."
