He was usually pretty tactless, but even Tal knew better than to try and push healing on someone who didn't want it. He just shrugged at her reassurance and dropped his hand back to his side. Normally he would have dropped it to his companion's head, but Boreal was busy making Elizabeth's acquaintance and taking shameless advantage of the young woman's willingness to scratch around her horns and the itchy spots behind her brow ridges.
There wasn't much else to say about his task; Flora had client confidentiality, and as much as Tal talked shit sometimes, he didn't enjoy talking about shit. Even supposedly magical unicorn shit. So he was clearly relieved when Elizabeth didn't linger on it and instead answered his question in return.
"Yeah? Guess it takes some gettin' used to," he allowed gruffly. She wasn't a native Halovian, after all, so could be forgiven for not being inured to the extreme cold yet, even outside of Deepfrost. "Still pretty nippy here in Flowerbirth, though. Just my opinion, but y'might try warmin' up in th'hot springs in th'Climb. Frey's Breath's supposed t'be good for all sortsa stuff, too. Might even help with your ears." And who knew, maybe she'd even find a Lily while she was there?
But for once Tal decided not to press his luck. The meeting had been neutrally pleasant enough, and any more conversation might inevitably lead back to feet ending up in mouths, so he bobbed his head at the therapist and picked his bucket back up, ready to head back to his boat. "So, uh, I gotta get goin', but I'll see y'round, I guess?"
