Tal had been secretly hoping one of his guildmates would follow him, and when Boreal had reported someone behind he'd assumed it was one of them. He'd studiously pretended not to notice their approach, playing a game with himself by trying to guess who it was. Hotaru, maybe? Or Delia?
But the voice that called out was complete unknown to him and he stiffened from where he'd been standing to examine the sky. He turned slowly to the sight of another red-head; not Melita, for which he was both grateful and disappointed in a confusing mixture, but she didn't seem hostile, so...
"Big fiery rock dog," he agreed cautiously. "Least, I hope it is. Who're you?"
Boreal landed heavily beside him with a whump and rolled her eyes expressively at Tal's usual lack of courtesy in introductions.
