"There isn't a Shrine to just you in Halo," Tal answered shyly, reaching up to rub the back of his neck against the blush he hoped wasn't too obvious when she accepted his offering. "An' it doesn't seem right, comin' t'ask you for favors an' not bring somethin', too." She was a goddess, after all, and Tal's parents had raised him to be respectful of such.
Besides, he liked seeing her smile because of something he'd brought.
However flustered he might have been at her appearance, Tal listened intently to the instructions she gave, cocking his head in a mirror of his dragon's as he committed them to memory. His eyes lit up at the mention of the skyship and he nodded eagerly. "I can do that! Thank you, Safrin! I'll be back as quick as I can!"
