Tal squinted at his friend as she refused to meet his eyes, but he waited for her to explain what she'd meant. Sure, he had an inkling... On Caido that sort of thing was pretty common for Attuned, after all, but there was always the chance it was a magic item or some other reason.
His first guess turned out to be correct but before he could get his own feathers ruffled her explanation made him open his mouth... and then close it again with a click.
Well, shit. He was all too familiar with not bringing something up because he was embarrassed about it. It was Tal's turn to look away, turning back to the stone to continue his sharpening as he cleared his throat to buy himself time. "Uh... well. S'not like y'have t'say anythin' about... what you are..." he mumbled awkwardly. "I mean... I'm just a boring ol' Accepted. Um. What... were we talkin' about, again?" he asked, desperately seeking a distraction from his own tripping tongue.
