"She's beautiful." Tal had no trouble admitting that, even if it was to Mel. "Hi, Sila." He would have happily stayed on the topic of the companion for awhile, but questions of tasks and stones distracted him for the moment. He watched Mel's face for some sign of approval or dismay in his choice, but at her question he tucked his current catch back into his pockets and puffed his chest out proudly.
"Somethin' that lets me travel through Halo even in Deepfrost," he boasted. "An' protects me from the cold!" Something he remembered that Mel might want today, too, when she revealed her own reasons for being on the mountain.
"It's pretty weird," he agreed slowly, turning to look back over the bay spread out below them and the sprinkles of snow here and there, marring the tropical landscape. "Kinda nice but... weird. Halo isn't any different this year, at least. An' neither is Stormbreak." So at least it wasn't something that was affecting the whole world. Just... certain bits of it. Like this one. "What d'you think is causin' it?"
