While Nirael had heard about hero's welcome in some cases, to be actually present to receive such gratitude and the whispering might have made him blush in his earlier years. The sheer amount of people wishing to step forth made him feel pride in what had been achieved here. These people were home, and he could not help it, the fact remained that it made it all worthwhile. He had not known what to expect but ultimately this was certainly far more rewarding than simple gold exchanging hands or a brief pat on the back from a nobleman. He had to remind himself that while he should take pride and be glad everything had ended well this time, he should remember all that worked together for it, and humility to avoid letting himself get a swollen head.<br/><br/>The night then turned into a blissful embrace despite his thoughts of sleeping, the desires sparked by simply being in this company in this realm meant he was more than happy to try and seek pleasures together with Lunari and Nilari. Both of these remarkable women had been there to aid him through the time in the village, made him feel at home, at ease. The moment of revealing what he was had left him doubting whether or not he would be welcome there anymore, but lead to further revelations and had him cherish what he had found with these people all the more. He might be amorous fellow with a wandering interest, but these two were people he'd always find himself returning to, and the moments in the night seemed to just further cement that. He liked it, he loved it, he'd finally found a home.<br/><br/>Yet the 'morning' that came saw him smiling widely yet wondering abit on the light outside, yet through the desires of the night he had been left with a good mood that would take some grave news to shake, and thus it was little surprise for him to wander out downstairs with the biggest grin on his face in a long while. The surprise of witnessing the bounty gathered at the kitchen at Nilari's words must have shown but he shook his head chuckling amusedly, a blush playing on his cheeks as he scratched along one cheek and then turned to look from one lady to the other, a warm sigh parting his lips momentarily.<br/><br/><strong>"I am just glad everyone is here and safe. I was not certain during the night how things would turn out. Even after Mara's revelations and the end of that battle."</strong>He let out a short breath but smiled gazing at the two of them, before casting a look at the tokens that the two were talking about, the<em>sorluian</em>they had pointed out to him. The familiar redness returned to his cheeks, although he found himself chuckling at the time still.<strong>"I think its both flattering and a little intimidating to be so welcomed."</strong>He chuckled a moment, before Nilari dropped the bomb about his name becoming popular.<br/><br/>Truthfully, staring at the two with his mouth hanging a bit open probably was hilarious from the other side, but the wide-eyed stare accompanied by his open mouth made him wonder briefly if they were teasing him or serious, but thought on it quickly that they were far more likely to be honest and just have a warm laugh at the fact he hadn't expected that much. Lunari's explanation did help although he chuckled embararssed while scratching the back of his neck after hearing that part, a friendly smile playing on his lips.<strong>"Well it is just a little humbling, this level of gratitude is beyond anything I've ever encountered so..."</strong>He shrugged a bit helpless at that, not sure how to put the feeling into words right away.<br/><br/>Still, Nilari's question about his plans for the day and Lunari's follow-up comment about the light outside did shake him out of those thoughts again, making him hum and nod his head seriously as he spoke up.<br/><br/><strong>"Well to start with, I felt a call out in the wilds when I received the staff last night. I believe I should go by myself, here in the place where Primal flows all around us, and take a bit of time to seek solitude and connection to it. I have a feeling it will help me with my craft. Besides that, I thought about visiting the matriarch to talk a bit more now that the rush to flee to attackers is gone. I was thinking of attending temple service, feeling I should offer a word to the Divines for our safe arrival. Beyond that, I have a few ideas. I would like to make a journey over to the tower we saw, but I imagine I should first have a few words with the Matriarch and possibly Mara as well. Learning more about the place might help me do what is necessary. As far as I understood, we are now here, but there is still a being imprisoned there and I am wondering if the next step would involve setting them free, or if merely by being here things are improving and that would be wiser left to be while the being bound here rests and recovers near so much stronger source of primal, and the people have a chance to feel at home again first."</strong>He smiled a hint while looking at the two of them, leaning his head back and closing his eyes as he let out a short sigh.<br/><br/><strong>"The question on the light might be another thing I should inquire the Matriarch about, but I imagine that thicker, darker curtains to make bedrooms more shaded will be popular in a while if the light doesn't change. It is, in some ways, comforting, but I admit there's a beauty in the pale light of the moon and the stars. Given the nature of this place though it might be this is a safer alternative though."</strong>He shrugged his shoulders, not really certain what else he could say.
