The dragon watched Sohalia approach with alert, friendly eyes, tilting her head curiously at the young woman. She was relaxed and calm in her posture, and she might have stood up to greet the new addition to their table herself - with her usual lack of concern for whether someone found her intimidating - but Tal dropped his fingers to tug lightly at one of her horns to distract her as the woman sat down.
"No, uh... not really. I mean, it's not like it's a private table or anything." The courier realized he was rambling a bit and cleared his throat. Looking the blonde girl over, all he could seem to decide for sure was that she was younger than him, but just before the silence could become uncomfortable his dragon nudged his hand and Tal started a little.
"Oh! I'm Tal. Tal Seawright. Nice to meet you, Sohalia." He looked a little sheepish and glanced down at his tea. "Are you from around here? The Greatwood, I mean?"
At least he didn't come right out and say 'you're a little tall for a Fae, aren't you.' His conversation skills had definitely improved!
