"It's whatever you prefer, really... Either is good; I was just saying that because I was unsure if my followers even know my real name. So, at least now you do-!" He stared at the floor for a moment before closing his eyes. "I don't mind the questions though. I like answering questions."

"...Do you like my altar to you?" Tobyn asked curiously, when Leaxa said he didn't mind questions. It was light-hearted, and a genuine intrigue to him. "And offerings, what kind of offerings do you usually prefer?"

"I do like it! I can hear you so clearly when you pray to me... And yeah, praying by alters versus praying in a random place does make a really big difference," he smiled a little bit. "I don't really have a preference for offerings.. It's really generous of you to leave an offering at all, and I genuinely don't need them. It's the prayers that I love the most, though your gifts are sweet."

"Ah, I'm glad it suits your tastes!" Tobyn responded eagerly. "I'm pleased that I got that right. Uhm - so you do not want the shells from the cove, then, by the way?" He thought back to his rescue where Leaxa had insisted that the god would be fine without any offerings. He paused when he remembered another part of the memory. "Oh, man, I really told you to be quiet so I could pray to you, didn't I?"

"Shells are nice! But.. I know that you have trauma from that event and I don't really expect you to go back there. And I didn't want you to feel obligated, which is why I had said what I said," he looked up at the ceiling before looking back at him. He recalled those moments too and let out a quiet laugh. Leaxa was self-conscious about his laughs so he usually ensures they were short-lived, but nonetheless, he found it to be particularly amusing. "And hah, I guess you did. I find humor in ironic moments like that. But really, it's okay. I would have done the same thing had I been in your shoes."

Tobyn smiled at his response, listening to him closely. "Kind of embarrassing on my part - 'just sit over there in silence a moment dear death, while I pray to you about how great you are!'" he half mocked himself, amused. Eventually, his smile fell, and he sat up, pulling away from Leaxa in the process. "I guess this means you're going to have to leave again, eventually. I can't keep you from your duties forever,"

"Ah, yeah I guess it could be a little embarrassing.. But don't feel ashamed! I think that it's amusing," Leaxa grinned, though a ping of guilt struck him. He felt bad about not admitting to who he was sooner... Surely saying it earlier would have made Tobyn feel more comfortable, right? "I will have to leave again and rather soon, but uh.. would you be okay if I came back when I'm done with what I have to do? It's okay if you would prefer not; just be honest!"

"Oh, yes, please do come back!" Tobyn insisted. "I love having you here, as long as I'm not a big distraction to your work!" He reached out and took one of Leaxa's hands in both of his own, looking into those star-shining eyes. "it's truly my pleasure to have you on my farm."

"You're not a distraction, don't worry! I'll definitely be coming back then since you're okay with it!" Leaxa prioritized Tobyn and his company over any work and tasks he had to do because he felt like he was more important. He loved to be able to hug people and talk to people. And honestly? He hadn't found someone he was able to do that with; not before he met Tobyn, so he tried to be with him as much as he possibly could.

Leaxa stared back into Tobyn's wonder striking grey eyes, his cheeks glowing with a light shade of red. "You're so flattering though! makes it so hard for me to want to even leave," he said as a sheepish smile spread across his face.

"Sorry!" Tobyn responded, laughing softly. "I can't help it. Everything about you is just extraordinary," he shifted how he was sitting to be more comfortable. "Besides, actions are a much better flattery than words, and you have done plenty of that for me recently.. it's only fair."
