For once, Boreal wasn't begging for a bite of people food. She had, however, curled herself in a bulky comma around Sohalia's chair, with her blunt chin resting on the young woman's feet as if to ensure that Soh couldn't disappear on her again any time soon.
Tal couldn't keep hugging her without things being weird, but he was keeping an eye on her from across the table, and nodded emphatically when she accepted his version of events. "I'm definitely right. An' it's definitely not your fault!"
The scone took the brunt of his vehemence and began disappearing down his gullet so Soh had plenty of time to think. He attacked the delicious baked good like it was the Family who had kidnapped her, reducing it to crumbs and taking fierce satisfaction in every bite. It wasn't until it was gone and he had taken a calming swallow of tea that she spoke again, and he looked at her with his head cocked to the side as he listened. "Well, no one can get rid o' th'Family just yet, so if anyone expects you t'do it when you've been lost an' sick all this time, they can eat an entire bag o' big, purple dicks," he stated firmly. "Y'helped Stormbreak grow past it's bullshit Abandoned issues, an' that's already a lot! Maybe it's time t'focus on you for a bit? Get back t'your roots. Travel an' see what's changed an' update th'maps." He was gesturing with his spoon again, but this time it was with encouragement - even if it earned him a dirty look from the passing waiter. "Start lookin' for what makes y'happy. An' don't let anyone try t'force y'back into somethin' that was crushin' you even afore Starfall fucked us all over."
