You open your backpack again to get the fuel for the torch. However, the shiny talisman of Anu you're keeping in there grabs your attention for some reason. As you stare at the symbol, you realize it doesn’t make much sense to keep it in the bag, as you won’t be able to use it when fighting demons. Maybe you should wear it as a necklace? Yeah, that’s what the cords are for. Derp!
This is the first time in your life you try to wear something around your neck. Tying the cords into a knot behind your head is a bit difficult, but you get the hang of it quickly. Wearing this thing reminds you of the special rituals often taking place in your tribe, where the shaman wears ornaments made of human bones. Despite their sanguinary origins, you can't deny those adornments look kind of cool...
Daitza seems kind of distracted, probably due to the uncertainty of the situation regarding Gondar. You really want to lower the tensions somehow, so you adopt an heroic pose and grab her attention, intending to show her your new necklace. “Yo, Datz! How do I look with this?”
Your question drags her back to reality. She stares at your figure and the necklace, her lips slowly curling into a smile, and gives you a thumbs up of approval. “Looks… looks dope. Those talismans are to scare off demons, right? I saw Murdock using one against Kholgarsh.”
“Yup. You want one too?”
“Ehh... they wouldn’t mess with our minds, right? No, no, it can’t be. It’s just a necklace…” With a nod to herself, she smiles. “Ah, why the heck not? After we go with Luna, I’ll ask that nice priest for one of those.”
