Tal nodded glumly at Soh's confession, sticking his hands into his pockets as they walked along. "Yeah, me too. I always feel guilty talkin' about it with my friends..." Many - most? - of whom had magic in one form or another. "Seems kinda dumb, anyways. I mean, y'got folks like Ru who've been given blessin's by th'gods, an' Attunement an' stuff, an' they still can't go to Stormbreak, just 'cause they've also got some magic they didn't even ask for." He scowled down at his feet for a moment before glancing to Sohalia with a faintly furrowed brow. "Actually... how'd it all come about, anyways? That, uh, stone-spell thingy that keeps 'em out?" He'd never heard the history of it. "Was it somethin' th'gods did? Or somethin' humans asked for?"
Caught in the historical and moral quandary though they were, Tal still remembered to point out sights of interest and useful landmarks as they walked. Of course, the hot springs were outside the Citadel, but it wasn't very far, and they wouldn't even have to walk... "'Course it is," Tal reassured Soh breezily with a wave of his hand, retrieved from his pocket for just that purpose. He spoke with all the confidence of a little brother who didn't intend to get caught. "She's out doin' the Tundra circuit on her sled right now. Won't be back for a couple weeks yet. It's no problem at all!"
