Tal held his breath, afraid of disturbing the dancing pollen until it turned into light and the goddess made her entrance, looking better than she had in a good long while. The courier didn't exhale until he started to feel a little light-headed, and then he relaxed all at once as she didn't seem to be too disappointed in him. Or... disappointed at all, that he could tell.
Which, after hitting a wall on his Frey quest, left the courier feeling almost pathetically grateful. "I'm gettin' pretty good at huntin' down th'little Void stuff, at least," he admitted, an almost-shy little boast as he took the Goggles back and cradled them in his hands. Boreal stuck her nose towards them to investigate the charm and then sneezed prodigiously, giving an irate shake of her head. Tal barely managed to lift his Goggles out of the splash zone, wincing as he tucked them tight to his chest to protect them. "Thanks, Safrin. An'... it's really good t'see you lookin' better," he added, this time with a genuine grin of relief as some hope slipped back into his world. The Void might have won the first round, but they hadn't been able to snuff out Safrin's light when they had the chance, and surely that meant she'd be back stronger and brighter than ever, right?
Right!
