Tal huffed with more sincerity at her continued criticism but kept working, certain that she'd come around once he had a finished product to show of--
"Hey!" The scowl she got at her crack at the proportions was genuine this time, but since he'd already asked for her help it was too late for regrets now. He grumbled wordlessly under his breath as they worked together to sculpt the snow. And hearing about the illustrious Noah from someone who knew him personally was a pretty interesting way to pass the time.
And for all that it had been a rough beginning, it did start looking more lupine the harder Tal and Delia worked on it. Maybe hard to tell that it was a specific wolf, but there weren't that many running around inside the Citadel and from the right angle it was actually pretty close. Eventually Tal sat back and nodded in satisfaction, nudging Delia with his shoulder.
"Right, I think it's about ready for delivery." Which was why he'd built it on top of the sled. "Hey, thanks, Del! I'll see ya around!" Harnessing up Bell to the sled, the boy and his dog and his dragon and his snow wolf headed off down the street to leave the anonymous gift on Sah's porch.
