It had been a busy season, and Tal's travels hadn't brought him back to the Greatwood very often, but eventually he and Sohalia had been able to pin down a day for their lessons. He'd been sailing for several days, passing around the Draig and then back up to the water-logged forest in order to meet his friend on this sunny and unexpectedly warm Flowerbirth day. As much as he was looking forward to introducing the young woman to the joys of skyship sailing, he had been growing increasingly more twitchy at the thought of going back into the same water that had almost killed him in Leafchange.
Boreal was having none of his nerves, however. The pale dragon's bass carol of greeting echoing through the trees as Tal brought the Peregrine down to within fifteen feet of the ground and tossed out the anchor to clang into some jumbled boulders. He unfurled the rope ladder and scampered down it like a monkey as his companion padded ahead to grumble a happy greeting to Soh and sniff her over (for treats). Tal followed soon after, feeling a bit abashed at her eagerness in comparison to his own reluctance. He made up for it with a tentative grin and reached up to rub the back of his neck. "Hey, Soh. Good t'see you again. Are y'ready for today's big adventure?"
