Tal winced back from the yelling, but she was smiling at him...? And her words were polite enough, just... loud. Boreal snorted in surprise but took the volume in better stride than her companion. After a moment's hesitation to observe the human and determine that there would be neither shoes nor newspapers forthcoming, she padded right up to Elizabeth and sat back on her haunches, front talons perfectly placed in front of her and scaly tail sweeping slowly through the grass and wildflowers behind her as she looked up at the woman with soulful eyes.
Tal just snorted as his dragon shamelessly cadged for attention, and looked back to Elizabeth uncertainly. He rubbed the back of his neck for a moment before setting his bucket down so they could talk more easily. Or... whatever was going on. "This is Boreal," he answered the most important question with fond exasperation, expression softening as he looked at his mischievous companion. "An', uh, I've been... okay," he said cautiously. "Y'don't have t'yell, y'know...?" He trailed off into a question of his own, brow furrowing in confusion.
