Shinjo Tselu + Natural Aviary

Hi Rules Team,

If I have Shinjo Tselu and Natural Aviary in play, does Tselu's trait apply to the cost for the Falcon from Natural Aviary? I have a few thoughts as to which way this would rule but I'd rather seek your wisdom first before spouting what I admittedly don't know for certain.

Thanks!

Relevant Card Text:

Cavalry Followers attach to your Personalities paying 2 less Gold. After another player's action resolves which targeted Tselu: That player discards a card.

Limited: Pay 2 Gold and target your Personality: Create a 1F Nonhuman • Falcon • Cavalry Follower and attach it to him.

Hi Rules Team,

It applies to the cost of the Facon, but since the cost of the Falcon is zero, as you acknowledge in the other question, it'll normally make no difference.

Shinjo Tselu doesn't affect the cost of Natural Aviary's ability, though, which is still 2 gold.
