Okay, the first part wasn't so far-fetched for the courier. The Fae had wings, didn't they? So that was alright. And there was some sort of genuine emotion in Sah's voice that made it sound pretty convincing. But then the hunter continued and Tal's nose wrinkled further against the other man's shirt at the mention of 'paws' and 'fur'.
"Tch. Now I know you're pullin' my leg an' makin' stuff up." He groped his hand over Boreal's head to reach for Lilly's ears to ruffle them reassuringly. "You're just jealous of Lilly!" As for Pad, since the young gruff didn't go in for pets and scritches and exuberant greetings the way his senior packmate did, Tal couldn't offer an opinion either way.
But he would have showered the young wolf with just as much praise if he'd known. Tal was a sucker for dogs - and friendly wolves - like that. Even Sah. A little. Sometimes.
Of course, once Tal switched attention to Lilly, Boreal was left at loose ends. This never ended well for the courier. The big dragon pulled her wings in tight and then rolled against the wolf, pawing at her with carefully blunted claws as she instigated a wrestling match with her friend.
Right into the laps of both young men, if she had her mischievous way.
