Tal was quiet as he managed the big sled over the snow and ice, speaking up only to call commands to the dogs and Bella in particular. The lead dog moved with a smooth stride and alert ears as she set the pace for the full team behind her. The courier was running his second biggest sled; the largest was with his sister, who had taken over his usual trade route for the season, but with a full haul of ice to bring back he had planned for enough dogs to swap out with any that pulled a sprain or cracked pads in Halo's eternal cold.
The courier himself was dressed lightly for the weather in a heavy sweater and light jacket but didn't seem to feel the cold at all. When they reached their destination he pulled on his heavy duty work gloves and made his way over to Deimos with only a subdued, unreadable glance towards Evie. He slung his axe over his shoulder and waiting for the marks to be placed. Once the first few blocks were outlined he joined a couple of the other helpers in beginning to chop away at the ice so the team behind them could lift it out.
The first block was always the hardest...
