Yes, yes she was squishing him, but Boreal didn't seem particularly remorseful about what she'd put her human through. He was tougher than he looked and besides, he'd heal up just fine. She, on the other hand, was perishing for want of attention and here was a nice new friend to give it to her!
She ambled over to where the young man - boy? - indicated and sat down, just as pretty as a picture as she awaited the treat that must surely be coming. Tal, meanwhile, groaned again and gave up on trying to sit up. Breathing was about the extent of his capabilities at the moment as he blinked up at the newcomer. "Not scared," he growled in protest. "Y'just... startled Boreal, is all." Tal definitely hadn't been startled. Yeah.
"Isn't it past your bedtime, kid?" he added, squinting up at the youthful teenage face in the shadows, scowling in embarrassment at being caught in such an undignified position.
