Tal had also been up early, feeding the dogs and sweeping out the store while his oldest sister checked the inventory. By the time his middle sister had come in to take over, he was more than ready to head outside and put the team through the more limited training of Deepfrost.
It was in the midst of this that he heard the excited chatter of passersby mention the General's name and what new diversion he was in the midst of for Halo's darkest season.
Of course Tal had finished his work with the team first, but as soon as it was done he ran inside to grab the skates hanging by the door and then dashed out again with a whoop as the big, pale dragon launched off the roof and soared in his wake. They just followed the crowd streaming towards the central hubbub of people and gathering merchants setting up their stalls.
Feet jammed into skates and boots tied together by their laces and hung around the neck of Boreal - who gave Tal a withering glare for being used in so cavalier a fashion - the courier quickly slid off the bench and into the new rink.
