It took a lot longer than it should have for Tal to return, and when he did the scowl was back on his face. He was too embarrassed to admit that he'd gotten lost in the Dragoon headquarters but luckily neither Anna nor Koa seemed inclined to ask.
And wow, had the impressive Dragoon done an amazing job turning the place over and leaving it sparkling. He couldn't help but whistle appreciatively as he paused in the door with his load of lumber, and after seeing all of Anna's hard work he went back down one more time to beg a scrap of canvas that he used as a drop-cloth to keep his woodworking mess contained and easy to bundle out afterwards.
It... wasn't his best work, and Tal grimaced apologetically as he hung the hurried constructions in their new places and called back to Koa . "Look. Y'ever decide y'want somethin' a little fancier, an' when we aren't on a time crunch, well... just lemme know." Maybe he hadn't come here intending to offer free help, but hail, Boreal was having such a good time with the other dragons and Koa was so nice and Anna was pretty darn cool and...
Well, what was the harm in offering?
Shelves hung, Tal turned to Anna with a bob of his head. "Just tell me which end t'take," he offered of the furniture, figuring it would go better if they worked as a team and also hoping that if he stuck with her, he wouldn't get lost again. Under her direction and with her help, he lifted, carried, and placed the new furniture.
As for Boreal? She never turned down an invitation to raid a kitchen!
Tal helps Anna with the furniture and Boreal goes to cause more chaos with Pip! ...just somewhere else this time.
