Boreal watched Sol's sneezes with concern, wriggling a little closer to gently nudge the smaller dragon with her muzzle. She didn't quite understand the source of his distress, but she knew that he liked snowflakes and after a few moment's of serious draconic thought she pushed herself to her feet so she could use her tail to sweep more snow forward for Sol to play in.

He blew on his drink to cool it and then took a small sip, hissing a little at the heat on his tongue but looking quite pleased with the flavor. "So, got any ideas for your next date?"
