He missed training in the Barracks, but he had decided to do his routine elsewhere these days. There was an empty lot near the Citadel walls where a house had once stood before a white dragon had crashed into it during the War. The dangerous remnants of the building had long since been cleaned away but the foundations remained and the lot had stayed empty while more desirable real estate towards the center of the city had been repaired and reused.
It suited Tal just fine. He was rarely bothered out here, and he'd been able to build a few makeshift improvements, including some targets for his distance weapons and a small rock climbing wall.
Today - a sunny late Flowerbirth afternoon in spite of the morning snow showers - he was working on agility. The remaining foundations had been built up with snow and extended to create a patchwork of cover which he dodged behind as a pale dragon the size of a mastiff stalked him through the pseudo-maze, loosing jets of flame whenever she caught sight of him. Tal moved constantly around the area, scooping up snowballs and firing them back at his companion on the run while he tried to avoid being singed!
