Summary: “Xenk?” Turning, Xenk watched Edgin enter the stables at a jog, then stumble to a halt. He looked at Xenk’s face and visibly blanched. It had been some time since he had done thus; Xenk could hardly blame him. The mark on his forehead had caused so many to recoil from him over the years. “Nice, uh, nice horse,” Edgin said after a moment. “Greetings, Edgin Darvis,” Tyr said aloud. “Nice talking horse.” Xenk wiped tears from his face. “Edgin, I present to you my god: Tyr, the Sword Above the Clouds, Keeper of the Door.” “Your god is a horse?”

Recommendation: AHHH! This was so good! I love Xenk’s patron god showing up, I love Edgin using bardic magic, I love he and Holga having an awkward talk about feelings, I love Xenk and Edgin just being so, so good for each other! I love all of this!
