Pale eyes widened in surprise at this news about Remi. Tal had heard the legends of the Lullaby, chosen demigod of Ludo, but most of them had to do with his Governorship of Torchline or his exploits since attaining his current status. "Punished by them? Why?"
For the time being Tal hadn't made any divine enemies that he knew of; though he'd never met the Voice. She might be rightly pissed that he was helping Halo prepare to fend off an expected Ascended assault, but after the last coup, well, who could blame him?
Hotaru's sultry smirk drew a complicated scowl from the courier and he glared stubbornly at the shrine after sneaking a peek at it. "Huh. Well... no. Don't really need godly help with that," he protested defensively. "So I've never had a reason to pray to 'em. Nature Frey, sure. They gave me a bracelet that keeps me from feelin' the cold." Some of his pique had faded by the time he finished and he held up his Frostbite Cuff for Ru to see. "But right now I'm tryin' t'do some things for Safrin so she'll make my goggles better. I gotta use 'em to study 'a creature with night vision." He repeated the goddess's words carefully, making sure they were exactly as Safrin had told him. "So... I dunno. Like a cat or somethin'?"
He looked to Hotaru a little helplessly, hoping for a suggestion.
