Distracted by scritches, Boreal paused her advance on the meat to lean against Zavien's side and push her head into his fingers, grumbling happily. She might not have stayed distracted for long, but the appearance of jerky quickly caught her attention and her nostrils widened as she inhaled the beloved smell of her favorite treat. She looked at the cooking meat longingly, but in the end she relented and accepted the jerky with dainty gentleness from the human's hand, settling down at his feet to worry and gnaw at the meat-game with contentment.
Tal managed to catch up at the tail end of the exchange and he waved back with a sheepish smile. "Hey, Zavien! Sorry 'bout this. Hope she's not causin' too much trouble for you..." He trailed off, taking in the circle of shiny stones amidst the sand and the fire burning merrily in their midst. The aroma of the meat hit his nose and he sniffed appreciatively, his grin turning wry. "Though I can see why she stopped! What're y'doin' havin' a barbecue way out in th'middle o'nowhere, anyways?"
