"Mm. I admit, I've kept my distance from that one," he said dryly, revealing something of his thoughts. "Most of the stories I've heard have been... cautionary." He chose the final word with delicacy.
"Not many have met that one," he agreed of Vi, grunting softly as he knelt and measured with unsteady hands. "The Old Gods answer rarely, if at all." The bard grimaced, nose wrinkling as Sunjata came closer and a trickle of smoke wafted down to tickle the bard's throat with grasping, tearing tendrils. He coughed and waved the stench away until the Deepfrost breeze shifted again and cleared the air once more.
"Ah. Funny you should ask, given our conversation," he attempted to joke, but his throat was still irritated and he had to sit back on his heels, coughing again as he eyed the cigarette with distaste. "I'm not making it yet, but eventually..." he looked back down at the cold earth and the snow that was already settling back atop it, despite his attempts to clear it. "Eventually, I was thinking of trying to build a shrine here. A place within the Hollowed Grounds dedicated to Ludo and Mort, for people to pray for their lost without traipsing through the Fae's Woods."
