A shiver ran right down Tal's spine, from skull to tailbone as ghostly fingers slid pleasant trails beneath his Vest. "Uh..." He wasn't used to shrine visits going like that, that was for sure! And the sensations Frey was... sharing? with him weren't bad, just... kind of weird. Took some getting used to.
Though the courier couldn't stop the grin that flashed, boyish and unrepentant across his face at the deity's choice of phrasing.
The grin faded a little as Frey offered honesty but little comfort, and the courier's slightly constipated expression of deep thought returned, as though he was wrestling an idea into submission. He wasn't quite sure if that last little bit was meant to make fun of him or not, but hail, if a god wanted to get a good chuckle at his expense, he wasn't dumb enough to protest.
And if Frey was just making dirty jokes, well, the courier was at least taking subconscious mental notes.
"So, uh... I guess I don't really... understand?" Chewing his lip, Tal tried to keep his attention focused on his prayer and his attempted quest, and off the delightful shape of Frey's nose. "Do gods even care about shrines? Or I guess... gods other'n Vi an' Safrin?" Was he just barking up the wrong tree, trying to meddle in something way bigger than himself?
