Sah couldn't have wiped the grin off Tal's face faster if he'd thrown a bucket of ice water on him. All too easy a target, the courier's scowl flipped so fast he risked pulling a muscle as he reached out to shove half-heartedly at Sah's shoulder. "Yeah, right! In your dreams, Jester!"
Ugh, as if!
Too bad the threat of real, imminent war stifled the boyish high spirits before they could get to the really inspired name-calling. Tal nodded morosely to Sah's prediction that 'fair fighting' would go out the window as soon as the going got tough. Human nature was a bitch sometimes. But the mention of minors had dark brows rising in surprise as he looked over at the Abandoned again. "D'you have younger sibs that came through with you?"
Of course, then the mist and the laughter made their appearance, and Bell jumped up from where she'd been so calmly sitting to bark an offended warning at whatever playful water elemental had snuck into the city to cause mischief. Tal reached out to sink his fingers into her fur as she sniffed around for the perpetrator, soothing her shoulders with careful scritches. "S'okay, girl. No harm done." ... Yet, at least.
