So either Ludo had gone gluten-free, or the little cat was perfectly safe with the raggedy god. Tal breathed a little sigh of relief as his offering was accepted without being ingested and relaxed back onto his heels, perking up as the voice of mischief gave him a list of things to do in order to improve his armor.
The first one was... okay. Okay he could do that. Not great, but sure.
But as the list went on the courier's face fell and he had the distinct sense that he was being bullied. Definitely bullied. But what did one say to a god one was asking a favor from except: "O...oh. Okay. Thanks, Ludo... I 'll, uh. I'll get right on... that..."
Rubbing the back of his neck, he considered the last requirement with glum certainty that it would probably involve him getting smacked a fourth time by whoever wanted to test his claim, but in the end it would be worth it. Right?
Right??
"See you later..." Getting the sense that the god was more interested in the cat than him, Tal picked himself up and tiptoed away to start his most challenging quest yet.
~Fin~
