Boreal was a very smart companion especially where food was involved, but she had an issue with Gore Crows that stemmed from one of Tal's misadventures in the Climb back before the War. Having never seen Maea's shifts before, the dragon was far more inclined to breathe fire first and ask questions later about why this one was white when one of the vicious birds appeared in her airspace. It was only when Maea landed and turned back into a familiar friend-shape that the dragon veered off in surprise, grumbling her bewilderment as she stroked heavy wings back into the sky to watch from a safe distance.
The fracas had drawn Tal's attention upwards, though he remained kneeling. One hand rested on the hilt of his Dagger, a scowl on his face as he prepared for a battle that--
Was actually a total misunderstanding. The big sigh of relief that he heaved was almost comedic as he relaxed and lifted the little charm he'd been pressing into the scarred earth back into his hand before he stood up to greet his friend. "Uh... might just be y--oh! Guess it probably is," he admitted sheepishly, flicking a glance down at his Frostbite Cuff that protected him from most uncomfortable temperatures around Caido. "Hey, Maea. Good t'see you. I'm workin' on a quest for Safrin right now," he explained, offering the little star charm for her to see. "What about you? Got a new shift?"
