"I mean, there's Tanau's shrine, in th'Cathedral..." Tal trailed off a little dubiously, now wondering if it was still Tanau's shrine. Or, well, a general purpose shrine, really, but since this was Tanau's region... yeah. It'd made sense, and it was their next stop on their tour.
Or was there a new shrine to the new-old goddess hidden among the gleaming jewels that were totally not watching them? Remembering his brief experience with Danta and Edmund in the Grounds, Tal shivered in spite of the heat, quietly glad that he had Sah at his back even if he'd never admit it. The Ancients had never done anything, and Fox was pretty nice, but the casual way some of them discussed killing and bleeding and sacrificing things wasn't particularly comforting to the courier.
It sounded way too much like the cultists that had used to plague Halo.
Boreal led the way out to the tunnel beyond and put her blunt muzzle to the ground, casting about for a scent to get them moving again. She caught Pad's distrust of the cavern and rumbled soothingly to the young wolf before she started pacing down the main tunnel before taking a sharp right into a little side passage that had been mostly hidden by how the rocks jutted out. Tal followed, casting a glance back to make sure Sah was still okay. "How're their paws holdin' up?" he asked, a little worried about the wolves' feet on the Climb's volcanic geology.
