Tal listened with his nose wrinkled in deep thought and then made a dive for a pencil. Tearing a sheet off of another piece of paper he began to furiously scribble down Koa's game plan. The tip of his tongue stuck out of the side of his mouth as he took his notes in a surprisingly neat and concise script. "Flowers. Bracelet. Got it," he said with a decisive nod. "I've done flowers before. Well, kinda." He snorted glancing over to where Boreal had finished cleaning Pip up and had proudly brought the fuzzy noodle one of her favorite toys to play with. "Boreal ate most of 'em durin' th'delivery. But I c'n definitely do that again! I'll grab some from Torchline next time I'm there." Except the next time he was in Torchline he'd be fighting a giant Void Horror and getting his skyboat smashed up so the flowers might or might not get remembered.
The kettle started whistling and Tal missed the look of absolute horror on the other man's face as he busied himself with the teapot, measuring in a couple of spoonfuls of something black and spicy before pouring the water in to steep.
He didn't even notice Koa coming up behind him until the Dragoon was already there, tugging on the shaggy mane of hair that was thick and clean but suffering from neglect. Tal wrinkled his nose at his friend, shaking his head to free his tress as he contemplated an early haircut. He was clearly unconvinced, but at the question he perked up. "Oh yeah! I mean, I jump in the hot springs sometimes," he assured his friend with relief that he could finally answer positively to one of Koa's questions. A hot spring was kind of like conditioning, right? All those minerals had to be good for his hair, too! "Wait, what kinda shampoo do you use?" There was more than one type??
