The drink hadn't arrived yet, but Tal wasn't going to let that stop him from supporting the hail out of Sohalia. So first up was the Tundra, and Tal winced but nodded, having heard about it from Alys and Zavien, both. "Sorry 'bout that," he mumbled, reaching up to rub the back of his neck, but trying not to interrupt too much as she continued on to the second problem, which--

He hissed in an aghast whisper as several clues tumbled into place and thank Mort he was still sober enough to begin hastily assembling the leftover jigsaw pieces of their conversation.
