[ It’s a rare thing to see Pyrrha bend her knee for a blessing but she hardly considers herself beyond it. She’s skilled, yes, but hardly the goddess of victory people prescribe her to be. Goodwitch had recommended offering a prayer to one of the great fairies and, never one to dismiss the wisdom of her betters, Pyrrha had made the day-long pilgrimage. The sky had been barely dawning when she had set out; arriving, the sun retreats to mark the achievement.
She’ll likely have to stay the night in the shrine or at one of the lodges nearby.
For now, though, Pyrrha is abeyant. Her hands are clasped behind her back, head bowed. ]
[ Though she's not physically present, the Great Fairy is always aware of what happens in her fountain. She listens and watches as the woman approaches. She considers her. There's no ill intent there. Earnestness, yes. A feeling of certainty. Perhaps her faith was not in the power of the shrine itself, but the belief in her elder's advice was undoubtable.
That was just as good.
The Great Fairy chuckled softly. The sound echoed through the shrine like the tinkling of water. She flicked the waters of her fountain, making sure to have them ripple as if in time with her laughter.
And then of course she burst out, laughing all the harder, and arranged herself in the air. Legs crossed, elbow leaning on knee, chin resting on her hand. She smiles down at Pyrrha.]
Greetings, Pyrrha!
[ She considers telling her what her aspect is, but decides that it's not necessary. She's not the hero who needs her guidance so plainly. ]
[ The great fairy is so lithe, so casual. It’s not quite what Pyrrha had been expecting from an alleged mystical figure. Pray, she had been told, kneel your head and don’t look at what they give you until they’re gone. Despite that, Pyrrha chances looking up. It seems even more disrespectful not to look someone in the eyes when asking favours of them. ]
I do have payment, if that’s necessary.
[ A small thing, precious. The only magic in it is what it represents but maybe that’s enough. ]
[ The Great Fairy flutters her lashes at her when their eyes meet. Her painted lips purse out into a plump smile. ]
I don't need payment. I can sense the goodness in a heart that deserves my blessing. It's what I'm here for!
[ And, unlike a lot of smaller fairies, she won't die or vanish once she does her duty. It meant she could be more useful more often. ]
Hm... let's have a good look at you, then!
[ She stretches in the air, rolls onto her back, and gives Pyrrha a frank up-and down look from her upside-down perspective. It's all for show, of course. It's playful. She can't help but tease a little. This one was very sweet, with her little repeated greeting and request... ]

What can I do for you?

Hello... again.
[ Yup. ]
I was told I could request a blessing of victory.
