Elizabeth smiled at the attention-seeking dragon, obliging with a polite rub of her hand across the hard scales. Her shimmering white scales didn't ease her thoughts about icy Halo, but she tried to push aside the reminder, focusing on the warmth exuding from the creature. Shaking her head, she sighed. "I don't think so, but I hope it'll fade soon!" The wound was still too fresh, and she didn't have the desire to share her shortcoming with the man, so she kept the answer vague.
Tal's own reasoning surprised her, especially as he seemed to reconsider a particular term. She wouldn't have cared if he'd screamed it in her face. It wouldn't offend her in the slightest. Although, she still wondered why someone would want such a thing. Raising an eyebrow, she simply said, "Interesting!" It said more about him as a professional that he was willing to procure such a substance for another. Her eyes contained nothing but respect for him.
Clutching her cloak tighter again, Elizabeth was reluctant to think about her own recent interaction that had brought her out this direction. "I was trying to escape the cold for a bit!" Not that it was working. The climate might be warmer, but she still shivered slightly with discomfort at the internal chill she couldn't escape. Anyone who looked at her would see that she was miserable. It was even hard for her to sleep with the incessant ringing and biting cold.
