The recruit was doing pretty good, and Tal chewed his lip fiercely as he watched how it was done. It certainly looked more fun than lifting boxes of metal piping or heavy sacks of grain for his sisters. Maybe he could try it later... when there weren't so many witnesses around.
"Yeah! She's my dragon," Tal said, pride and fondness warring for primacy in his voice. "She and Bell - Bell's my lead dog - stayed out front when I came in..." He trailed off, grin starting to spread in earnest now as Deimos laughed openly and the sound bounced around. "D'you want to meet them? Bell's never met a hellhound before." Neither had he or Boreal, for that matter, but he didn't say that bit out loud. "Runnin' the White yourself is a whole different game than workin' with a team. But I always kinda wondered what'd be like..." The wistful twist to his voice was quickly shaken away as he looked up at Deimos with bright, curious eyes.
