Old world courtesy? Isla liked that term, she decided, and she smiled to Jigano gently and nodded in understanding. "I have never been in a world where any of the gods have been particularly active. So this is all quite new to me!" She hoped she hadn't offended the Voice; then again, her commune with the deity was so deep that she thought she would probably know if that was the case.
"That would be lucky!" she agreed, grinning and shrugging. "But then I would only ever divide my time between the Temple and the Atheneum, and I feel that might not be healthy." Still, it certainly would be something. She was about to set off when Jigano paused, Isla glancing back at him just in time to see him produce the tiny luxere from his pocket.
Lips parting in a mingling of surprise and pleasure, Isla accepted the little token between her hands and turned it this way and that. "It's beautiful, Jigano..." She glanced back up at him. "Oh, but I don't have anything for you in return..."
