Well that was pretty cryptic all around, though Tal thought he got the gist of it. Shit involving the Void could be dangerous, Safrin was involved, and maybe the other gods were and maybe they weren't, but those that wanted a part in the goings-on were given the opportunity to be included.
He still wasn't sure why he and Sah were there, except that it looked like she'd just CC'ed everyone from the Tournament. His instincts said "gtfo" but his pride said "not if Sah is staying!" so the courier shifted uncomfortably but didn't stand up again. Something between his shoulders blades relaxed a little when Remi's protection settled over him and his expression turned very odd as he felt the magic sink into his skin. Goosebumps popped up and he shook himself like a dog, then found a brief, sheepish grin for the Bastion. It was weird but... nice. Like being wrapped in a blanket that had been warming by the fire.
Then he heard some of the misgivings that others were having, and after some hemming and hawing over his own concerns he finally spoke up, clearing his throat and speaking gruffly in the presence of so many demigods - even if some of them were his friends.
"Look, uh, Seren? Not t'be a dick about things but... are y'sure this is th'right place t'be havin' this? Out in th'open I mean. In Torchline. When Starfall is just a shout o'er that way." He waved in the direction of the new island with a grimace. "If it's this big, dangerous secret an' all. I mean, they moved in on Stormbreak pretty quick, an' th'Shrine in th'Celestine had void critters all over it last I was there." The grimace became a scowl as he closed his hands tightly around his Goggles. "So just bein' on holy ground doesn't stop 'em, is what I'm sayin'." And who knew what all weird abilities the Family had on top of that?
