[His god swings from emotional highs to lows and back again in a heartbeat. He's slowly coming to understand that she puts everything she has into each task and offer she makes; but it also means that when there is an error or a refusal, she takes it very hard.
He's glad she respects his choice, but it doesn't sit well with him as she works in silence. Normally she'd be chattering all about the different ingredients and the science behind everything, but her disappointment bears down on him like divine judgement. It bothers him like a never-ending itch; he could simply give her time to get over it. They'll find something cute along the way home, her eyes will light up and it'll be like this never happened.
But it's not right, he thinks. They do need to draw a line, of course, of how much she can push on him, but right now it doesn't costs him much to learn how to fold a paper frog. And it ties back to something else that he's been thinking about as well. Might as well bring up the suggestion to her now.
He's made up his mind when her voice draws his attention to the cure in her hand. He nods at her.]
Let's get it to that man then. But before we do so...I have been thinking. Some gods are associated with certain symbols that take on the form of multiple objects or living beings. Any sightings of those symbols around miraculous acts often point to the god's intervention.
Would my lady like to adopt the frog as her symbol? We already have the cup, but a paper frog would be easier to create and leave behind after every completed prayer. And if that would be the case, then I would most certainly need to learn how to fold a paper frog.
