Tal was practically smug as they headed back to the Glade. He was enjoying the sensation of not needing healing after doing a god quest! The first task had been successfully completed without loss of life or limb or even any injury, which was a nice change of pace.

He walked into the peaceful, green clearing with his head held high, giving Boreal's horns a good scratch as she abandoned her nap with Lilly to greet him. The Vest was firmly back on his body, making him feel a whole lot safer for the moment, even if that wouldn't last too long. Still, he had faith in Safrin's method, and he even had faith inSah - not that he was eager to say it out loud.
But it was past time for the hunter to start dealing with the trauma leftover from the tournament, and he'd rather let Sah hit him with lightning than ask Elizabeth to do it, no matter how nice the therapist could be. It was a matter of trust, and he and the Jester had been through enough danger together to have earned it the hard way.
