There had been an influx of people returning to Halo in the wake of Morgan's passing, and Tal found himself running the length and breadth of the Citadel delivering messages, packages, parcels, and receipts between old residents and new.
Some of those messages even needing delivering within the Palace, and Tal scowled in discomfort as he trudged back from the room of the woman he'd handed a package to. Not even a word of thanks! She'd sent him on his way like the errand boy Sah teased him about being, and Tal's pride prickled at the disrespect.
Dragon and hound waited for him outside the Palace gates as they usually did when he had indoor business, and he was looking forward to joining them. He was looking forward to it so much that he didn't pay attention to where he was going, or who else might be in the hall with him as he trotted along, potentially inviting disaster in his distraction.
