"Starshield? Is that what it's called? Hmm... yeah, sounds like somethin' you'd have to ask Safrin to remove..." Tal grimaced, rubbing the back of his neck. "An' whoever ends up doin' it, it's gonna be a thorny request since She doesn't always, uh, like most Abandoned." Even more than Frey and Ludo, Tal had gotten the impression that Safrin had taken the Voice's hubris personally, and had never stopped blaming the rest of the Abandoned for it unless they jumped through flaming hoops to prove themselves to Her. And even then, it was just individuals that she forgave.
He was glad it wasn't his problem, and was blissfully oblivious to the fact that it would soon be Soh's.
They moved through Snowcloak, Tal pointing out important places like his favorite bakery and the shop that did the best fruit tarts and desserts in Halo. As they neared his family's store, Tal grinned. "Here, y'can look around in Seawright's Sundries an' I'll be right back!" He led the way into the general store and then headed towards the back, into the private area and up the stairs to rifle through his sister's room.
He returned a few minutes later, a pair of swimsuits being stuffed into his Bag, and he quickly collected Soh and ushered her out before one of his other sisters could spot them and make inquiries. "Does Stormbreak have any hot springs?" he asked curiously as he led the way towards the Citadel gates.
