Tal flashed Deimos an understanding grin. "Boreal's the same way," he confided. The dragon slanted a suspicious eye at him and Tal scrubbed his hand over her scaled head, completely unapologetic. Her eyes went back to the peryton a moment later, scaled tail lashing excitedly as Belial prepared to pounce.
Tal pressed down on her head as he stood, holding her in place more by force of will than power given how much stronger she was than him. "Hey, you guys got treats, it's only fair that he does, too," he chided his friends, trying not to laugh at how Bell quivered as the peryton was scooped. It was Tal's turn to dig into a pocket and pull out a small chunk of dried caribou, offering it carefully to Belial on a flat palm in an attempt to keep all has fingers.
