Tal ducked his head when he realized that Deimos - and Evie, of course - had joined the gathering. It was bad enough that he was trying not to sneak glances at Remi and Ronin's attire so he wouldn't blush in a situation that really didn't call for it without the Wardens also appearing and sending a jangle of conflicting emotions through him.
In the end it was Sah that he drifted towards (though only because Boreal went over to greet him first. Yeah.), giving the other man a sharp nod of greeting as they looked out over the red cascade and some teenager tried to give orders that - unsurprisingly - no one seemed interested in obeying.
"D'you think-" he started to ask his fellow Halovian, but then something bobbed to the surface, Noah was diving in, and what he dragged out-
"Fuck," Tal breathed, and there was no time for interpersonal conflicts with this new escalation.
"We saw a water horse like that in the Oerwoud," he spoke up to Deimos's question. "She's the first person I've seen like it, though."
To Noah he simply shook his head, grim-faced, his hand reaching down to rub Boreal's horns soothingly as the dragon looked towards the red pool and began to growl, scaled hackles rising.
