Feeling those same clever hands clench automatically at the melody filling his mind, that the song takes the shape of Safrin's words is only coincidental. It isn't as intense as he knows it might be - the cosmos doesn't spill over the lip of his sanity to drown him, not quite - but it's enough to render him awed and speechless as he beholds his goddess.
Sighing out a breath he hasn't realised he's been holding, with numb fingers he accepts his own icy flute, taking a sip of the sparkling wine as if it might unlock his tongue. Which it does, just about, enough for him to bow his head upon receiving Safrin's instructions. "You're too kind," he says in a tight voice. "I'll see it done."
With fingers rimed with frost, he raises his glass to the goddess in a toast, and prepares himself for the work ahead.
