[ It should come as no surprise that Hilda thinks only to bow after she sees Koby bestow one on the wyverns himself. She hadn't one so initially when she wandered across them in her domain, but she does so now in a quiet support of her friend and, she supposes, to indulge the wyverns who look amused.

He's right though. She doesn't bow to any god. The only people she bows to funnily enough are mortals - but only in the context of a performance of course. How else was she supposed to show them that she appreciated them as much as they adored her? After all, a goddess of performance was nothing without an adoring following to extend creativity into the world.

[ In other words, there was no need to thank her at all. The teasing quality from her smile mellows out into something more sincere. ]

I should be the one thanking you for putting up with me. I know it isn't exactly the easiest.
