After much soapy, sudsy chaos and a few adventures involving a dragon and the water bucket Tal and Boreal were able to get the windows cleaned up rather nicely. Stepping back inside, the courier was surprised at how much brighter the place looked and he beamed with pride as Soh complimented him.
"I was hopin' you'd say that," he teased his friend as all three humans (and one companion) headed up to test out the new furniture and the reputation of the bakery where he'd gotten the house-warming gift.
Cake was served and Tal had managed two bites in the time Soh had taken one when her question caught him with a mouthful of sugary goodness. He swallowed his bite and glanced over to Jude for confirmation. "Could be..." he admitted cautiously, setting his fork down with obvious reluctance. "I guess we could check outside, right girl?" The last was directed to Boreal, who snorted amiable agreement and heaved herself up with a shake. Man and dragon headed back downstairs at a trot, and he sent Boreal up to check the roof while he poked around the sides of the house.
The sooner they could reassure Soh, the sooner they could get back to dessert!
Tal and Boreal head outside to check the roof and perimeter of the house!
