The dog Hotaru chose wagged its tail happily and tried to bounce up to lick at her face enthusiastically. Tal tried to hide a grin as he moved over to scratch Bell's ears, listening to Hotaru's reasons curiously.
"Hm. Guess that makes sense." He gave a grudging nod of respect, considering her answer with Sah's.
He blinked as she spoke again, and had the grace to look a little - just a little - sheepish. "Um. Guess we never met properly, huh? I'm Tal," he offered at last. "Tal Seawright. My sisters like your spa." Bluntly awkward as he scrubbed at Bel's ears and tried to remember how smalltalk with people worked. Dogs were so much easier to talk to! "Surprised you remember me. I'm not around the Citadel too much."
