Tal stole a glance at the Maverick's fingers as they teased his drink, finding it easier to watch them than the other man's face, even though he knew he should be trying to pay attention to any important cues that might cross Danta's countenance.
But then there was a perfect segue dropped onto the bar between them like a gift and Tal's fingers tightened around his drink as he reminded himself to play it cool and not look too desperate.
"Um. Well. I mean, y'already got th'Lake shrine out in th'middle o' nowhere, for people who like a bit o' privacy," he opined, rubbing his thumb against the condensation on his glass. "So havin' it in town somewhere makes more sense, if y'want it t'be more accessible t'more folks." He cleared his throat, glancing down at his drink for inspiration on how to say what came next.
"But th'Glade is good, too. I mean, I hear there used t'be an Old Gods shrine out there," he noted, totally casually. "Could have th'two shrines t'gether, maybe? Kinda one stop shoppin' for divine blessin's?"
And he snuck a glance at Danta out of the corner of his eyes to see how that was received.
