Boreal accepted the bread with dainty gravitas, taking the edge of it in the very tips of her front teeth and waiting until Rhi released it before she scarfed it down - very nearly swallowing it whole before Tal could turn around and catch a glimpse. Her scaly tail wagged happily, however, swishing over the rugs of the floor as she bumped her head against the woman's thigh affectionately.
Tal was either oblivious to the interplay or chose to ignore it for Boreal's sake as he set up a candle in another window, though he was grinning to himself. He knew exactly what he'd said and he'd said it that way for a reason - which paid off at Rhi's snort, and even if he didn't see the eyeroll he could feel it. It warmed the cockles of his cold Halovian heart and it was an effort of will not to hum in self-satisfaction.
"Dunno, but it's like they're possessed or somethin'. Or... extra possessed," he amended with a frown. The vampire gourds had always been annoying and mildly malicious - except for Fangorn - but the floaty ones were even worse than usual. "Never seen flyin' ones afore this year. Here, I need more plates." He stacked up on some more little ones and followed Rhi into the living area to make sure each window had its protective light. "How's th'Void stuff been around here this season?" He set another candle in one of the smaller side windows. It was a little precarious, and Tal took the time to fiddle with it until he was sure it was secure and wouldn't fall over even if someone bumped it before lighting it.
