The courier bit his lip, nose wrinkling in deep thought as he considered the little Wyrm and her movements. When he looked over to Liam as the other man sat beside him, the Cloud Wyrm darted forward again and did a little spin around his hand until he glanced back at the sudden movement caught in the corner of his eye. She slipped away as he tried to move the glass into her paws and then his eyes widened in understanding.
"Guess it wouldn't be th'worst thing t'ever happen t'me," he admitted wryly, turning his full attention back to the ex-Dragoon and only watching the Cloud Wyrm obliquely. He turned his hand palm-up, holding the polished sea glass out to her but not looking at her directly while he spoke. "Boreal'd probably love it, an' I'm sure Alys wouldn't mind. But Sascha might get jealous..." He sighed heavily, and that was when he felt a gentle tug at his fingers. The Wyrm had grasped the shiny 'stone' and he let it slip through his fingers and into her grasp. She puffed a quick cloud around herself as she did a little spin of victory--
Just as her siblings realized that something shiny had been claimed. The rest of the swarm darted towards them and the first Cloud Wyrm slipped between Tal and Liam, using them as human shields as the men were suddenly in the middle of a family game of chase.
Tal couldn't help but laugh for the first time since the Family had left, holding his hands up to show that they were now empty. "Dunno how much thinkin' we'll get done now!"
