Jude
Jude subsides immediately as Tal sits up abruptly, aware he has suffered a misstep somehow but unsure where or how badly. When the courier doesn't immediately leave he assumes it's not a level he can't come back from, and shakily exhales his relief. Another day without putting his foot too far into his mouth.
"Why would I burn?" Pure, innocent curiosity tinges the question. "I thought there'd be a lot of clouds with all the snow." And while he's becoming rather well-traveled, Jude hadn't aged until after winter had passed, and hasn't seen any of the Wilds coated in snow yet either.
On the coattails of that curiosity comes real intrigue and perhaps a tinge of excitement. "Really? That's an option? I would love that!" Realizing his voice is overly loud (to him, because it really isn't even in the empty space) Jude subsides and tucks his hands tighter against his sternum to control his eagerness. "I do a lot of traveling already, I like exploring all the new lands. Do you know much about it?" Perhaps he had done it himself, or knew a potential mentor.
