Tal nodded brotherly understanding, even if all Sah could see was the back of his head bobbing. Still, the laugh was good to hear and he took it to mean that the Thunder's heart might have been a bit bruised but it wasn't too broken.
Not that he cared about Sah's heart. But no one needed that kind of pain in their life, and a sad Sah would mean a sad Lilly, which was something the courier wanted to avoid.
That was definitely why he made his offer for drinks and company and at the fervent response he flashed a grin into the mist, content that Sah couldn't see it. "I'll bring the best we stock in Sundries," he promised. "Nine-ish?" Late enough for the kids to be in bed by the time he showed up, hopefully.
With that to look forward to the last of the courier's initial discomfort faded and he paced the route with a straight back, peeling back the mist with the help of Safrin's gift and revealing the safest, fastest route through the Tar Pits until they reached the shore on the other side and Boreal could rejoin them.
And if they made the rest of the trip home after that a race? Well, at least they were tired enough to sleep well that night!
