Tal nodded and lifted his arm to let his Frostbite Cuff catch the starlight. "This's been a lifesaver, even with just the cold resistance on it," he agreed. "I'm thinkin' o' askin' Frey t'add heat resistance on it next." It was a good magical item to have, even if it wouldn't help out in a fight.
Gods willing, Sol wouldn't find herself in too many of those anyways.
Ha!
Ludo wasn't high on the courier's list of favorite gods at the moment, especially with the multiple stings of his recent tasks for the god still hurting. Not outwardly; oh, the Vest had done its job and kept him from any real physical harm, but the other ones, the embarrassing ones were still a painful sting in his chest and he had been trying not to dwell on them.
So of course Sah just had to ask. And if there'd been any of their usual teasing Tal would have huffed and changed the subject. But the hunter sounded almost... hail. He probably was concerned after all they'd been through together and Tal sighed, sinking under the water far enough to hide half his face until he ran out of breath and had to sit up again.
"There is... was... this girl," he started, reluctantly, but soon enough the words were tumbling out in a rush. "Ludo needed me t'sing, an' she ended up bein' there that night, an I'd had a lot to drink an'... I kinda... sang a song for her." A romantic little song, not at all what he'd initially intended to sing, but the blushberries that Flora had served him in vodka form might have had something to do with his sudden courage. "Anyways, turns out she actually... kinda hates me. An' it's not like I wasn't expectin' her t'turn me down but... it still hurt, y'know?"
