Tal nodded in easy agreement, because it was different between the Draig and the Climb. He didn't know why, and he figured he probably never would, but the truth was that both of the Biggest Gods had their own territories. What they did with them and why was so far above his paygrade he couldn't even see the bottom rung of that particular corporate ladder.
Edmund's discomfort was plain to see and the courier had already resigned himself to having to try on his own when his guildmaster raised his head and announced his decision-- one that caught Tal off-guard but brought a broad, relieved grin to chase away his glum scowl once it sank in. "Really? Hail, Edmund, thank you! This'll help a lot!"
Spoiler alert, Edmund: Tal had absolutely not thought about it from a political perspective. His approach so far had basically involved bumping into people and asking them as the opportunities arose, and it would be just his luck that it all came crashing down due to his lack of forethought when he did finally run into the Maverick.
But that was a problem for future Tal.
"Yeah, I'll ask 'im th'next time I run into him," the courier blithely assured his guildleader, a new spring in his step as he took the lead back to the Settlement!
~Fin~
