Silently relieved that Liam didn't share anything more about his dead family, even if he felt a smidge of guilt at the unworthy emotion, Tal went back to working in his lantern with fingers gone cautious and a little clumsy until the mood lightened. Not much but... hail, it was better than nothing.
"Yeah... seems pretty nice here," he agreed. "More green'n blue an'... well. 'Cept for the Will o' Wisps it's not too bad." He wrinkled his nose in rueful memory of the weird hunt he'd gone on, even if he hadn't gotten very many of the nasty lying light-orbs. "An' the Glotters," he added darkly.
Though thinking about the Greatwood's people brought a more pleasant memory to the surface and his fingers steadied as he made the final adjustment's to his lantern's top and worked on screwing it into place. "Actually... first time I met Soh - er, th'Heart - was here. Well, not here," he gestured with the little screwdriver at the riverbank. "But in Sidhe Village. At a little teashop there."
Lifting his finished lantern he checked it over, then grinned in satisfaction. "I think I'm done! How's yours comin'?"
