Tal had glowered at the response, but not without a traitorous grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. At least he'd had time to compose himself before their meeting, and as they stood in front of the cave he'd eyed it dubiously.
Boreal was more than happy to play with Lilly, as always, and she swept her scaly tail across snow and rock like she would to entertain the new season's pups, occasionally hopping a few feet away from the wolf to make the game more interesting.
"Falling down?" The courier tried to look unconcerned, but the glance he shot towards the stalagtites of the cave's mouth was decidedly uneasy. He shook his head and trotted after Sah with a stubbornly prideful scoff. "Huh. Ursurs. I've graduated to Frost Giants these days, Jester."
But he still followed his not-friend deeper into the tunnels until the cavern spread out and the light of his lantern illuminated sparkles of ice from the rock. "Right... Well. I guess we get searchin'," he said, not with much enthusiasm. He opened up his Bag of Holding and pulled out a pair of small pickaxes, handing one to Sah. "For testin' the difference between ice and diamond," he explained, heading towards a nearby wall that glittered promisingly. "Or mageglass, I guess. Not that anyone's found any of that in a few years."
Or so he thought.
