If he had to stay up to catch a glimpse of a shooting star, Tal figured there was no place better than the Fae's Observatory. He was usually so busy flying into or out of the port that he hadn't been up to it yet, but Safrin's quest had given him the perfect excuse to take a night off and be nosy. Timing a delivery for when there'd be the best chance of a star shower had been the hardest part but now here he was, stretched out on his back on the wooden planks with his jacket folded beneath his head for a pillow as he watched the clear sky above.
The Flowerbirth night was more than a little chilly, but his Frostbite Cuff kept him comfortable in spite of the threat of late frost and, besides, there was a warm dragon stretched out along his side, snoring gently and radiating heat as her tail tip twitched and her talons flexed in dreamy shenanigans. Tal grinned and shifted a hand from under his head to drape over her back, scratching a spot between her wings that had Boreal sighing blissfully and relaxing back into stillness.
A thin streak of light cut across the sky and Tal caught his breath in sudden excitement, his attention all for the celestial display above and unaware of the sound of someone coming up the ladder behind him.
Open!
