"Nah, I'm good," he assured her, crouching down and reaching for a chunk of bobbing pumice right before Boreal splashed into the water. She immediately began herding floating rocks like ducklings back towards shore, grumbling happily to herself as she did so. Tal just sat there, dripping and scowling before heaving a long-suffering sigh and stuffing the Chosen Rocks back into his bag in preparation for heading home.
