"Yeah, a shortcut to the top," Tal scoffed back with an impressive roll of his eyes. "Too bad I can't teleport like that stupid rabbit." Or better yet, like Noah. Noah was still alive and well. If everything went according to plan today, the Blink Hare soon wouldn't be.
But you know what they say about the best laid plans of wolves and men.
The courier pretended not to hear Sah's snickering as he continued to lean precariously over the edge. Luckily his soul wasn't particularly artistic or moved by the sight beneath him, so he was fine when he jerked back at Sah's praise of the wolf - and fresh question.
"It can't be far-" he started to point out, when Boreal arrowed down out of the sky like a pale thunderbolt behind a large stone. Tal whipped his head around, knife at the ready thanks to his companion's warning, and when the blink hare jumped into the open to escape the dragon's jaws the courier was waiting with a well-placed throw.
It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough. The weapon sliced something vital, so that when the bunny flopped into the grass it lay unblinking in every sense of the word. "Ha! Good job, Boreal and Lilly!" he praised the two companions immediately, digging in his pockets for the traditional reindeer jerky treats.
He even flashed Sah a triumphant grin at their success.
