And to Tal, Halovian born and bred, it really was beautiful. This was the first visit where he hadn't wanted to peel his own skin off to get some relief from the tropical heat and humidity. Torchline's lingering 'Deepfrost' was a deliciously balmy day to him and he whistled slightly out of key as he moved to the rocky scree above the treeline and began seeking out the most interesting volcanic stones that he could find to stuff in his Bag.
