Maybe Tal couldn't use the stuff himself, but he had friends who could. He had someone in particular that he wouldn't mind presenting with a little chunk of the stuff, as a matter of fact, and when he'd heard that Alys and Noah were also going? Well, he figured he could take a couple days off from courier duty to tag along and maybe lend a helping brain cell.
Just the one, mind. He didn't have a lot to spare.
Luckily Boreal was along as well, the pale dragon trotting along from person to person to snuffle at pockets and push her broad head beneath empty hands as it to remind them that their clever fingers could also be used for scratching around the base of dragon horns. She kept her nose up to sniff the air for danger, but mostly she was enjoying being on an adventure with so many friends!
Tal fell in beside Alys, walking beside her in amiable silence as they approached the former cliffs and caves wherein their goal lay.
Tal arrives with Boreal, high hopes, and everything on his profile except his boat!
In his Bag of Holding he also has snacks and drinks for brain fuel.
