It wasn't quite the segue away from dragons that it seemed at first, but Tal definitely had a wary look on his face as Thal reached for her cloak to display what was beneath it. Luckily it was just clothes and weapons, though, and Tal relaxed a little as her display ended with a fanged grin. "...Oh. Well. I guess I wasn't gonna finish this anyways..." He looked down at his sandwich a little glumly and sighed.
He took a final bite of it and then looked up. Catching his silent mental signal, the dragon tilted her wings and dove, gaining size with every heartbeat that timed her approach. She thumped to a landing on the soft ground, deep-chested and heavy muscled, with a thick neck and broad, blunt-muzzled horned head. She was built like a mastiff and her shoulders came up to Tal's hips as she padded towards them, long tail snaking behind her as she approached with an intelligent and inquisitive light in her pale eyes. "Right, say 'hi,' girl," Tal told her, slanting Thalassa a wry glance before he tossed the remains of his sandwich to the dragon. She snapped it out of the air and swallowed it whole with a rumble of approval before she stalked forward to sniff at the Ancient's cloak.
