"Hmm..." Tal squinted at his friend in mock-suspicion. "Well, I guess if you say so..." In truth he trusted her judgment, though it was admittedly much easier to do so when they were a thousand miles away from the place and he wasn't facing its challenge in the immediate future. His grin returned in a flash of white teeth against his brown skin as he nudged her with his shoulder. "Long as y'aren't teachin' any other handsome young couriers t'swim in it, right?" he teased.
Boreal snorted, rolling her eyes at her human's smug playfulness, and fell back to nudge her own shoulder into Tal's hip, shoving him aside so she could walk beside Sohalia. The courier stumbled and gave her a wounded look that she blithely ignored as she fell in beside the cartographer.
"Hey! Jealous, much?" Tal huffed at her but obligingly shifted over so the dragon could walk between them. His hand dropped to scritch between her wings and the companion rumbled approvingly, tilting her head up to give Soh a pleading eye that invited her to join in the petting while they walked towards the city gates.
