It wasn't like Sah needed a minder. He had all that lightning and shit and honestly Tal felt bad for whatever poor, stupid beastie tried to give the hunter a hard time.
It was definitely for the sake of the poor beasts of the Sea that Tal harnessed up the team and headed out that morning after glancing at the notice board. It wasn't like he was returning the favor when Sah had come to check on him in the desert. That would imply a deeper concern for the other man than he would ever admit to out loud.
But, well, the Citadel hadn't been a comfortable place to be lately and in truth, any excuse to get out and ride free over the crisp Longheat snow was a welcome one.
The sled flew on freshly-waxed runners, the dogs pulling with eager abandon as they carried their cargo of one young man and a few axes and wires and wood for a fire across the Tundra and then over the Sea. Boreal flew overhead, calling directions from the path the hunter had left before and it wasn't long before Tal caught sight of the tall form standing out against the Sea's flat expanse and headed his way. "Didja get lost?" he called out as hupped for the dogs to slow down and set the snow brake to slide to a gracefully looped stop a little ways away.
