There wasn't room for a second pair of hands down there so Tal just loitered with the lantern, making helpful comments like 'a little to the left, maybe?' and 'twist it the other way,' but even without his directions Sah soon had a second chunk for a backup and the courier made room for him to straighten back up.
"Boreal, let's go," he called to the dragon, who padded over and helpfully shook the waterfall's spray from her scales all over both men. With a grimace Tal wiped the wetness from his face and nodded to Sah's question. "Yeah. Long trip for such a quick task, huh?" With a philosophical shrug - that was literally his whole job - Tal fell in beside the hunter as they headed back into the tunnels. "Now, about that writing practice--" he started to tease as the roar of the waterfall fell away behind them and the heat returned.
But soon enough they were making the ascent back into the mountains and the welcome coolness of Halo, another task done.
~Fin~
