Boreal, apex predator opportunist that she was, had abandoned Tal as soon as they'd arrived to go cruise the audience for friends, attention, and treats, leaving the courier to approach the ring alone. The courier had watched her go with a complicated expression of wounded indignance, his scowl pulling his brows together like a pair of gathering storm clouds.
Whether Noah liked it or not, Tal had come to think of his fellow Halovian as a combination of friend and mentor and it was daunting to face off with him at such a, well, public event. With spectators, no less! He'd really needed his companion's moral support, but as he scanned the crowd for her his pale eyes landed on Flora instead. He gave their hostess a rictus stage-fright grin she might remember from his last public appearance in Torchline before giving up on his dragon. Gathering his courage, he schlepped his ass over to the sparring ring where Noah waited for him.
"Hey, Noah," he acknowledged, rubbing the back of his neck and taking a deep breath. And then another one. And then a third--
Ah, fuck it.
Before he could start hyperventilating, he pulled his Goggles down over his eyes because safety first and then charged into the ring with a desperate yell to raise his courage. He stabbed his Nightmare-Honed Dagger towards Noah's right arm as soon as he was within thirty feet of his opponent, and continued to close the distance from there!
Tal has his Frostbite Cuff, See-Right Goggles, Rockhide Vest, Special Delivery Dagger (Honed by Nightmares), and his Ring of Mending.
