"One of us had t'be, and you weren't steppin' up so..." Tal trailed off lazily with a shrug, his insufferable grin not fading one iota even when Lily splashed him. He'd heard about Soleil's unexpected 'growth spurt' and had wisely stayed the hail away from both father and daughter for awhile, letting them sort out the new boundaries and tensions that had arisen from such an abrupt and extreme change in their relationship.
But it was still good to see Sah again.
"Mmm. Could be worse. She could've asked Frey t'make her older than you," Tal pointed out thoughtfully, letting his eyes drift up to watch the stars again, though he kept glancing surreptitiously to the side without moving his head in order to watch Sah's reaction. "Least she can't be as bad as you were when you were nineteen, right? What were you gettin' up to back then, anyways?" If Tal was reckoning the years right, that was well before Sah had come to Caido.
Boreal warbled a happy greeting to both wolves and flexed her wings excitedly as Lily came to join her. Unfortunately for Pad, that put him right in the backsplash as she flopped the broad membranes a few times before paddling forward to press her muzzle to Lily's nose.
