Tal's traitorous lips quirked towards a ghost of a grin at Sunjata's chuckle, a little more of his prickly discomfort starting to crumble beneath the gentle onslaught of understanding, patience, and gentle teasing from those around him. He kind of wanted to stay mad a little longer, but it had been an emotionally exhausting day already, and in spite of his best efforts it was easier to let Varian's half-embrace soothe him while Sunjata eased a bit more of his embarrassment.
With the Flood's gesture, Varian bowed to the demigod and released TalSah at last, with a final whisper in the courier's ear that brought the flush back to his brown cheeks in full force. "Come back and visit again soon, Sah," he purred with a flirtatious wink. "I'll be looking forward to hearing how well you like your new purchases!"
Tal cleared his throat and gave a bob of his head that might have been a shy nod before he took the exit Sunjata offered with gratitude and alacrity. He was more than happy to follow the Flood back to the entrance of Mother Molly's, sticking close so he didn't get lost.
"Uh. Sunjata? I, um. Thanks. For... everythin' today," he said quietly to his Archon's tall, broad back, fingers tightening around the bags he held. "It, uh. It means a lot t'me."
