Tal heard Belial's winged approach first, and turned from fussing with the dogs to offer a welcoming wave at the General's appearance. Deimos looked ready for business, and while the courier wasn't the best team player when it came to people, he was far more proficient when it came to hounds and companions. Maybe it was the hellhound in Deimos that made it so easy to fall into rhythm with him.
Or maybe it was his conscious decision to be on good behavior around a man whose respect had come to mean a lot to him in recent months. It was amazing what he could do with the right motivation.
"Hey, Deimos. I've been training this year's pups," Tal answered with a grin, taking the paper and perusing the sketches with a curious eye. "Getting them used to takin' commands and pullin' a little weight."
The larger panes were pointed out and he nodded thoughtfully, glancing back to the sled and measuring with a calculating eye to dimensions before nodding again more sharply. "Yeah. I can transport those anywhere in the Citadel whenever the pillar is ready." He handed the paper back. "What about you? Busy day so far?"
