"Sure, but why are you hidin' the weapons?" Tal asked curiously. "Aren't they kind like... accessories, 'n stuff? 'Sides, pullin' a hidden knife just seems a lot ruder than havin' one out in th'open so people know what they're fucking with. Just common courtesy, yeah?" - at least to a courier who preferred to spend more time with dogs than people.
His lack of experience with fancy parties was probably showing again and he rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably while Hotaru looked him over and he tried not to squirm.
It was a relief when she went on her mannequin hunt and Tal could join Boreal by the hearth, fussing her cheeks and scratching around the base of her horns while she grumbled happily and leaned into the attention. He listened to his friend's explanation of 'drink cards' with a wrinkled nose and no attempt to hide the disapproval in his voice. "Isn't drinkin' the point at big parties? No offense if y'don't, I mean," he added hurriedly, realizing belatedly that he was possibly being rude. "I just don't know how y'get through 'em sober."
He left his dragon with a pat on her scaly head and wandered over to help hold the mannequin steady. "It's just food an' drinkin' and dancin', right? An' makin' up for the last one with more o' the first two if you don't know the steps?"
