A more astute man might have noticed that Finn didn't bother to reassure him, but luckily Tal wasn't that man. He watched Finn eagerly from his frozen position by the window while Boreal sniffed around the alley outside.
At hearing that there was no more searching to be done here, and no late-night chases after brilliantly-deduced criminals, and that Finn was, in fact, heading home to do paperwork the courier's enthusiasm finally cooled. If there was nothing more to do tonight, then Tal was at loose ends until the morning skyship run.
"Nah, you were my last delivery of the day," he reassured the other man, relaxing and picking his way back to the door. "But I should find an inn to crash at before it gets too much later. Hey, it was good seein' you again. I'll stop by the next time I'm deliverin' in Stormbreak t'hear how it all turns out!" With a cheery wave the courier slipped out into the night, collected his companion, and headed down the road to find a meal, a bed, and a few hours of sleep before they hit the road sky again.
