Friend!! Boreal warbled happily in greeting as Pip glided over to her, curving her long neck back to sniff a welcome at her little friend as the noodle landed. Pip's chatter was music to the bigger dragon's ears and she began to amble around the room, sticking her blunt muzzle into things that looked interesting (re: smelly) and occasionally rumbling a comment back at her fuzzy passenger.
Their antics even brought a wry grin to Tal's taciturn face and he met Koa's energy with a little more grace, nodding in agreement. "Yeah, you should! There's this great bakery in Snowcloak--" he cut himself off as a stranger entered the room - a proper adult, no less, and with a third dragon for Boreal to cheerfully croon a greeting to, the big, pale reptile trotting over to make her own introductions with Pip in tow, of course!
Koa's idea of introductions had the courier's cheeks darkening and he scrubbed the back of his neck harder in embarrassment at the complimentary embellishment of their last encounter. "Um. S'not really what... I mean... Uh. Hi." He belatedly extended his hand to Anna since Koa clearly welcomed her, then retrieved it so he could jam both hands into his pockets while their first tasks were laid out.
"I can get th'shelves down," he offered, rolling up his sleeves in preparation as he considered the task. "Pretty decent at woodworkin', if y'need new ones, too." Years of making and repairing his dog sleds had seen to that, and more recent experiences with projects similar to this one had broadened his practical skills. He reached into his Bag of Holding to pull out heavy leather gloves and flexed his fingers before getting to work, breaking about the rotted wood and stripping it off the wall. When he was done he rummaged around until he found a hammer and then began to pull the nails out with the claw end.
Boreal, meanwhile, was downright gleeful at the chance to cause a little chaos, and she trotted eagerly over to join Koa at the balcony. You know what was a great way to get rid of a spider infestation?
Yeah, so did she.
With an inviting chortle to Pip to join in the fun, Boreal inhaled deeply and then crouched to breathe fire in a cleansing sweep across the balcony floor and railing.
Tal pulls down the old shelves while Boreal does her best "nuke 'em from orbit" impression.
