Rumor flew faster than a dragon's wings in a place like the Citadel, and when word of the supplies being taken to the Palace reached the courier's ears he let out a whoop and grabbed a light parka, heading in their wake with an exuberant dragon and a barking Bella harnassed to his small racing sled and echoing his excitement back to him.
The Palace had its usual subduing effect on him once he got there, but even the Eirachi's intimidating edifice couldn't completely stifle the courier's bouncing energy as he trotted through the gates and looked around, wide-eyed, for signs that construction had already begun.
It hadn't, but he did notice a half-familiar face at one of the windows and he parked his sled and settled Bella with a large treat in a sunny spot near the gate before heading inside. Boreal trotted along at his heels, snorting little smoke trails in her wake as she remembered the tasty biscuits that were now forever associated with Ronin in her capacious culinary memory.
"Is it really happenin'?" Tal called eagerly as he joined the Commander, only slightly out of breath. "Are we gettin' our own skyship port?" Boreal swung her head into his hip and he winced, glancing down at her with a wounded expression that quickly cleared up into understanding. "Oh! Uh... hi Ronin. How've you been?" he added sheepishly as he rubbed the new bruise.
Tal is in!
