Sunjata was already too damn tall normally, but as a hydra he was really big. Watching the three heads shift and twist sinuously around was almost hypnotizing in its own right, and Tal suddenly had a very distinct empathy with small birds confronted with large snakes. Luckily the Flood didn't loom around for very long before shrinking down again, and Tal pushed himself sheepishly to his feet, brushing grass off his butt as he tried to act like he hadn't made a fool of himself in front of his Archon.
"Huh... yeah, that sounds about right," he mused, dredging up memories of the old story book that was the only other place he'd seen a hydra before today. "Never quite figured out how they were s'posed to get back down t'three after a fight, but I guess since you can shift, it just... resets?" Or maybe that was something they'd all learn together when it came up in the future.
Boreal ambled back over to check on them and Tal rubbed her head fondly, lips quirking in amusement as she made her hunger known to him. His expression sobered as he looked back to Sunjata a moment later, however. "We should prob'ly get goin' soon but, uh... when d'you think you'll be doin' th' thing with th'Refuge?"
