It was going to make for a good story, Tal decided with an internal grin as he rejoined Finn. The ocean far below and its Ghost Whales were out of sight, out of mind as the mists hemmed them in, already fading to memory as the courier reached down to absent-mindedly provide Boreal with the head scratches she so richly deserved.
"I could go for a Feverlands Fog," Tal agreed easily enough. Tea was one of the great pillars of Halo after all, right after vodka and whiskey. A warm drink on a cold night - and all nights were cold there - could be a literal life saver. He was no connoisseur, but he enjoyed a freshly-brewed cup as much as the next northerner. "Maybe we'll get lucky an' find your captain there!"
Gentle reader, they did not.
But they did find a very nice pot of tea to share while they failed to make eye contact and engaged in awkward small talk for another hour.
