With the rain pouring down Tal couldn't exactly light up at the praise, but for a few moments, at least, he barely seemed to notice the storm around them as he basked in the warmth of Noah's approval while directing his ring's energy into the soggy earth. If he'd had a tail it would have been wagging, and Boreal's did as the dragon slogged back over to join the men, slurping down something that looked suspiciously like a very large worm with apparent gusto.
As Tal finished his own bout of healing he looked up to catch the odd look on his friend's face. He still didn't know the specifics - or even the generalities - but he gave a slow nod at Noah's statement. "Yeah... Guess it's a lot harder, servin' one o' the Big Three, huh?" He couldn't really understand, but he could try to guess at the extra responsibility and stress it must put Noah under.
He accepted Noah's help up and reached out to scratch Boreal's head as they walked along together. Hearing about his courier station perked the young man right up, and he shot Noah an eager glance from beneath his hood. "Oh yeah? Where'd y'find it?" Not even the endless rain could dampen the excitement in his voice.
