Consider the bomb dropped, Nova. Tal stopped to stare at her, eyes widening in shock at her casual statement of lineage. He glanced up and then around as if expecting the goddess to smite the kid for such a wild claim but when nothing happened and the day remained clear - no falling stars, no lightning bolts, no tidal waves - and he was left having to wonder if she was honest or just delusional. From what he'd seen of her so far...
It was a 50/50 toss up.
"Uhhh well..." Unsure of how to process the information, Tal.exe skipped over it for the moment and he shook his head with a fresh scowl. "Yeah, that'll go well. Criticize it's fashion sense an' maybe Ludo won't tell you t'stab yourself multiple times if y'want an item from it," he grumbled darkly. "It can be pretty cruel, even if it seems to like you. So just... be real careful if y'pray to it. And be real sure it's th'only one that can deliver what y'want."
Her protest that she was, in fact, an adult was met with a disbelieving snort from the courier. He didn't actually know Jack, so the Ark's name drop didn't mean much to him, but hearing that the rainbow terror had siblings made the courier feel exhausted. "Yeah? Well, I can give you a lift back to 'em," he offered. Grudgingly. But he had some earplugs somewhere. Maybe those would help...? "Y'comin' back to Haulani, or what?"
