Tal felt bad too, but it wasn't because of Maea. She'd pointed out a major flaw in his own high-flying idea that would have just endangered whoever was foolish enough to help him, but that was why he'd wanted to spitball it with her. Not to get some thoughtless pat on the head and assurance that she'd follow him come hail or high water, but genuine feedback on ways to make the idea work.
And if it wasn't as far-reaching and ambitious as the original plan, it was more doable and less dangerous by far.
Both of their smiles were definitely on the struggling side, but Boreal pressed her head against Maea's thigh with a reassuring croon as the Ancient promised to chip in. Tal nodded his own agreement with his pale friend's suggestion of supporting their demi friends, and his smile actually got a little stronger. "Yeah, can definitely do that," he agreed firmly. "An' Remi's been through lots, so he's gotta know what he's talkin' about! We'll figure it out, an' do what's in our power t'do," he assured. "Now c'mon, let's head back t'the Grounds an' get you home!" It would take a couple of days to leave the Greatwood behind, but Tal would be back before too long with other friends to continue the search for the missing Sohalia another day.
