The Climb was a lot more tolerable now that he had his Frostbite Cuff blessed to ease the heat, but Tal still shied away from the lava pools and grumbled quietly to his dragon as they made their way through the Burrows to the steamy oasis of Frey's Breath.
"Look, I'm not against deliverin' things here, but you're not th'one who was almost et by a rock slider last time!" he informed the companion at his side. She was glacier-pale and built like a mastiff, broad-chested and muscular, with a heavy, blunt muzzle and a pair of stubby horns sweeping back from her skull. Her equally pale eyes regarded her human with amusement as she trundled along at his side, her shoulders nearly reaching his ribs.
Grorf! she informed him, before a smoky belch escaped her gullet. Tal wrinkled his nose down at her as they entered the hot spring cavern, his own pale eyes an echo of the dragon's. Where she was nearly white - although at the moment it was more of a dusty grey from the Climb's ash - he had nut-brown skin and dark, shaggy hair pulled back from his brow with a leather headband. His clothes were simple and rugged but of a decent quality, and a polished Dagger was sheathed at his hip.
"What've you been eating??" He rolled his eyes in affectionate exasperation and pushed her muzzle away from him before he looked around the cavern, dark brows beetling together in puzzlement as the rising steam made it hard to see for any distance. "Lessee... they said it was kinda off t'the side..."
