The scents of Flowerbirth washed through the shrine and Tal felt himself relaxing as he inhaled the perfume of flowers and rain and looked up to find the God upon the altar. A broad grin split the courier's face; relief and welcome and a simple, wholesome happiness at seeing Frey again healing some of the recent scars left by the Dreamwalker on his heart.
Death came easy on Caido, but life continued to grow and change and find its own way. It was good to be reminded of that sometimes, especially in the bleak days of Deepfrost.
The god spoke first, their voice uncommonly gentle as they lifted the ring and blessed it. Stunned at the deity's generosity, Tal accepted the ring back without thinking, curling his fingers around it and pulling it close to his chest above his heart. "I... Frey... thank you!" he managed, speaking past the lump of gratitude that filled his throat as he slipped the newly-magical adornment onto his finger. "More'n I can say..." He bowed his head, Boreal crooning a joyful accompaniment to the bright emotions that filled her human, and if Frey was gone when he looked up again? Well, the god's kiss upon his ring was a point of sunlight that warmed him inside and out, lingering long after he left the shrine.
