Tal recovered his balance as Boreal stole his thunder, barely managing to keep his feet. The dragon was unrepentant as she leaned into Soh's scratches with a happy croon - and accepted the jerky tidbit with dainty good manners. Having paid the toll, the cartographer was allowed to rise while Tal finally stepped forward to return the hug, glaring fondly down at his companion.
"Brat," he informed her under his breath, reaching down to tug playfully at one of her horns that wasn't being fussed. She just curled her tail primly around her toes and leaned against Sohalia with a rumble of approval and possibly smug agreement.
"How was th'trip?" Tal gave Soh's shoulders a final squeeze and released her, nudging Boreal's haunch with his foot to get her moving. The dragon turned a look of absolute affront and wounded dignity on him before standing up sloooowly and dropping into a lazy stretch. The courier was already leading the way into the Palace tower the skyport had been built out from, and down the stairs to begin the tour. "Oh! An' hold up. I got somethin' for you," he added with a smug look of his own.
