"Flora!" To be honest, Tal hadn't been sure if she'd come all the way to Halo and his grin lit up at the sight of her. At least until her teasing brought a wounded, wide-eyed look of disbelief to the courier's face. He almost missed Anju's arrival, but definitely not her calling him small and he drew himself to his full height in protest. "Hey, I'm as tall as you are!" But he couldn't maintain his pretense of indignation with either woman and the grin quickly returned.
"Thanks so much for comin'! Flora, this is Anju. Anju, Flora. An' that's Riya," he added with a grin for the dragon who had found his own. Boreal had warbled right back, with a happy little puff of smoke and a wiggling lash of her tail. Bouncing twice, she took off with a call for Riya to follow, intent on showing the other dragon the fun game she'd found in King's End: chasing blink hares!
Meanwhile, Tal bobbed his head in thanks to Anju for sharing her items. "S'good to see you, too. Both o'you," he added, moving back to the table and tapping his own items with a finger. "Figured we could start by explainin' how our things work. Then we can test a couple out. See how they feel an' if we're any good at 'em." He cleared his throat self-consciously and poked at his Goggles first.
"These can see through darkness an' weather an' stuff, up to twenty feet. An' supposedly illusions up close, but I haven't been able to test that yet." He grinned and added, "Good for keepin' snow outta your eyes and cuttin' glare, too." His finger nudged the blink hair foot charm that dangled from the Dagger next. "It's a pretty awesome dagger, but it also works kinda like a spear. Make a stabbin' motion with it, an' you can cut anythin' within twenty feet. Way easier t'carry around than a spear, though, an' no one expects an invisible stab from that far away." No one expected the Stormbreak Inquisition, either, but those days were theoretically behind them now, right Anju? "An' this is my Vest. It's my armor an' it's very good at protectin' me when I get hit." The last was said with an obedient cadence accompanied by a kind of sickly smile and a small twitch of one eye. Traauumaaaa.
"What about you guys?"
