Sure Sah, was stronger than him and Tal knew it, but he was hoping his momentum would help tip the scales. There was a lot to be said for hitting someone low and at speed and Tal had tussled enough to appreciate the advantage it gave to the smaller guy. And the courier had almost always been the smaller guy in any given fight - even the ones he'd picked himself.
But he hadn't expected the hunter to be ready for his tackle and by the time he realized it, it was too late to stop. His momentum turned against him and, though Sah initially missed the grab at his arm, they both ended up going down and rolling anyways through the soft loam of the Oerwoud.
Tal tried to flip Sah under him and end up on top, but the other man's strength proved too much and the courier yowled as he was pinned. "Hey! Got offa me!" He started to struggle, wriggling like an oiled eel but then his eyes widened and he froze. "NonononoNo, bad dragon! Don't--"
Because Boreal had played this particular game with Tal and his friends before. She nudged Lilly with a companionable whuff from her muzzle and then stood. Unlike the well-behaved wolf, Boreal had no intention of letting her bonded have all the fun, and this particular game was her favorite.
It was called 'King of the Mountain'.
And Sah might find out what it felt like to be the filling in an Outlander oreo as the dragon flung herself towards the boys in a joyful bellyflop that Tal would end up regretting the most out of all three of them.
