Boreal wasn't particularly bothered either way, but she appreciated pats and the look she gave Tal was a clear indication that just because he was offering to leave, he didn't speak for her. As far as the dragon was concerned the human was her companion, not the other way around.
Tal didn't move his head at the gentle argument, but he did narrow his eyes thoughtfully. "Well, if y'insist..." If the kid wanted to let him stay he wasn't going to fight to leave! This was where he needed to be for a little while longer, at least, and he was already staying up plenty late as it was. He didn't really want to be up the entire night because he'd have to come back later.
"Guess we could," he agreed after another moment's thought. Safrin hadn't said anything about having to do it alone, after all, and the kid was being so polite Tal was starting to feel a little bad, even through his headache. Boreal huffed at him and sent a nudge through their bond and he blinked and rubbed his neck uncomfortably. "Uh. I'm Tal, by the way. An' this is Boreal. So d'you live here, then?"
