If Sah wanted to play at being silent and mysterious, Tal could roll his eyes and huff quietly in annoyance. He didn't really mind the quiet walk, and he was far happier about lending Lilly a helping hand, but he was increasingly curious as to just what she needed from him - or rather, Boreal. He was used to getting from one place to the next without having another human soul to speak to or answer his questions so he padded along beside the hunter until they reached the tree and he looked up and up and--
Oh.
A puppy??
Tal's eyes lit up at the same time that Boreal's did, and he grinned unabashedly up at the little wolfling. "Hey, lil guy," he crooned up, voice quiet and coaxing, far gentler than it was with other humans. "What're you doin' up there?" He slanted an ironic glance at Sah as the hunter finally elucidated the reason behind the little jaunt. "An' now he's too high up for your magic to reach?" he guessed, amused.
Boreal licked Lilly's nose reassuringly and then spread her broad wings, leaping into the air. No swift little falconiform, the dragon was big and boxy and worked hard to get her bulk off the ground and up, flapping heroically to lift up past Pad and higher still, seeking an updraft she could glide on while she studied the pup's position and how best to get him out of it.
"Wait... Lilly... and Pad?" Tal blinked in surprise as he put the two names together and then his grin broadened as he slapped Sah's shoulder. "Sure y'don't want t'secretely move to Torchline?"
