[It's a small leather pouch, filled but flattened and tied off at the top in a complicated knot. It's a little messy, not done with a craftsman's hand for any part of it. The knot is slightly askew, the symbols don't all line up straight. But at least some considerable care has been taken to the etchings of kanji on the front and back, of the odd circular symbol near the top.]

We call them omamori where I'm from. A charm from the gods, to bless someone through their year. Keep it closed, and on your person. [A slight bow of his head.] This one is for "katsumori", or a request for victory in whatever you choose to pursue.

....

I know there isn't much I can offer in comparison to many other gods. My place in this world is a simple one, and I don't have power or divinity to really bless anything. But...

I still... hope that a god's prayers can follow you, Syrlya, wherever you need. If not as a god, then just... as a friend that wants the best for you.

[Syrlya's fingers trace over the design as he turns it over. There's something beautiful in the imperfects, the evidence of Otegine's own hand and his will put into it. Even if it isn't magical...

He straightens up, so that he can carefully tuck it within his sash, afixing it by the tie for extra security.]

Thank you, Otegine. Your inspiration means much to me, and I will carry it always.
