"That's not that weird," Tal grumbled, scuffing a booted foot over the volcanic stones that covered the higher slopes of Apopo and slid treacherously underfoot. "It would be kinda nice, actually." Grass outside of the greenhouse. A chance to grow things again, and not live on the edge of starvation, reliant solely on the hunters for survival. Yeah. He could get behind that idea.
Especially if it meant the melting of the Sea...
"So you do know how to have fun," Tal teased slyly to notions of skating, looking up from his crouch with a smug grin. He stood and dusted his knees off, adding another rock to his collection as he nodded at her question. "It's like... what memory mud was before it was mud," he tried to explain. "When it melts an' mixes in with dirt, it becomes memory mud." Not that snow often had occasion to melt in Halo, at least; or stay melted long enough to sink into the frozen ground.
"Hey, where'd you learn to skate?" A genuinely curious question, given his experience with the honeybee girl so far had been in places where the heat was always on.
