Celestia would have otherwise replied to Revan's questions right away, as they were arriving at the island just as Revan was asking his questions. As it was, she only had time to reply, “My name is Celestia,” before the boat reached land, and they all had something else to concentrate on. It was just as well apparently, as Revan didn't seem overly concerned that his question wasn't answered. He could be a patient sort, content to wait for the answer in due time, or he could just be so interested in the new things presented to him, that the mystery of the island superseded the mystery of who his companions were.
Revan had also cryptically stated that he had something to tell them, odd in itself since all three of them had only recently arrived, but he was also unwilling to explain what it was just yet. Celestia supposed she would have to wait, and hope that Revan would be true to his word in tell them later. She was content to let Revan speak in his own time, provided his silence wasn't obscuring some kind of threat, and the trio would have enough to focus on anyways. Though Celestia would be keeping an eye on him, where she could, both because he seemed like too much of a wildcard right now and out of simple curiosity.
Celestia could do that while focusing on the circumstances at hoof though, and at the moment those apparently called for a decision. She took a moment to address Revan's concerns, by saying “I am sure he will not. I have faith that he wouldn't betray us, and it would be a poor tactical decision anyhow, given that we could make our own boat if necessary.” She didn't feel the need to add that elaborate on the obvious implications, that the three of them could easily enough return to Costa del Sol to confront the captain in whatever way they saw fit.
With that hopefully resolved, Celestia turned to Veritas. “I believe the most sensible choice would be the ruins. The ruins aside, this island seems unremarkable as islands go. Unless your book mentions something to be found outside of the ruins I believe it would be a time consuming way to search at best, and likely a fruitless one.” She gestured to the woods. “And, given how easy this island is to reach, I would expect anything of value on the surface to have been pilfered by now.” Then she grinned. “Besides, the ruins are what we're all here to see, aren't they?”
Celestia walked over to the doors, inspecting them. They were large, stone structures, which if she was correctly assessing the damage had survived the destruction of whatever structure this used to be only to be cracked open later, presumably by treasure hunters of some variety. The interior was dark, as could be expected with the place being long abandoned. Celestia cast a quick spell, conjuring a little ball which emitted a soft light and would keep pace with her. She gave her companions a moment to decided, to either catch up and follow her in, or to sit back a moment and let her scout ahead, before stepping inside.
