Sah found out the answer to his own question the hard way, and Tal didn't have to say a thing.
Not that he was even thinking about that, because the moment he realized what the pulse of eager mischief in his bond with Boreal meant he was trying to escape the pin in a desperate attempt to forestall the incoming--
Too late.
"Oof!" Sah went from pinning him to squishing him while Boreal caroled happily from her new throne but Tal only heard the other man's belated warning with dazed resignation. With the breath knocked out of him there was no chance to brace himself before a large and healthy wolf was added to the pile. Aside from the feet digging into his shoulder, he was a little surprised at how much he could still breathe. As Boreal greeted her co-ruler of the Mountain with a friendly nose-touch, Tal sucked in air and added a wheezed: "Boreal. Off. Please??" to Sah's own request.
The dragon leaned down to lick Sah's ear with a rough tongue - encouragement for third place? - chortling a heated breath through his hair before she daintily stepped off the squishy throne to indulge in a luxurious stretch and shake. Tal just groaned and squeezed his eyes closed, focusing on breathing again and thinking very hard about a new dragonskin belt.
The dragon in question just looked very smug.
