There was a palpable release of tension from the courier as Ronin proved to be, in fact, unmarred. Tal was finally able to heal himself and properly bask in the words of advice and encouragement the one and only White Knight gave him, and he grinned at the wink. Unable to stop from looking pleased as punch, he finally took a moment to clean his Dagger carefully before putting it back in its sheath.
"I'd love t'have a drink with you!" He brightened further at the invitation, scrambling to his feet and offering Ronin an eager hand. "Flora makes a mean Halovian Mule. Or, uh... I could do fruit juice," he added hurriedly, suddenly afraid that his hero might think he was a lush for hitting the hard liquor so early in the afternoon. "An' I've always wanted t'hear some o' your stories from when y'used t'run th'Monster Hunters' Guild. I mean, y'founded it, right? What was the weirdest thing y'ever hunted...?"
Tal would happily bother Ronin for his old hunting stories until the Knight made his escape from the eager young man after a drink in the cool depths of the bar. Hopefully he was a little wiser at the end of the day, but if not at least he'd gained some confidence in fighting with his off-hand!
