"Huh. Those sound pretty cool," Tal admitted, surprised. A lot more interesting than boring old ursurs, at least. She made them sound beautiful as well as deadly, and he was intensely jealous that she'd gotten to see one, much less ... well, chase it off, he assumed.
Ugh. He didn't want to think that she was cool. He scowled at her back, but seeing her checking the walls and ceiling was a reminder that they weren't safe by any stretch of the imagination. As if the echoing calls for meat weren't reminder enough. He eased the axe a little looser in its strap and flipped the buttons on the leather scabbard that fit over the blade, so it would slide free with a single jerk if he needed it.
"Huh. Wonder if that'll happen to Halo now, since Noah's all blessed by Vi an' stuff." Though Frey seemed to have more interest in the snowy lands and the welfare of its people than Safrin so far. "What's Ludo got that Safrin doesn't?" A question asked with a hiss of pain as Tal stumbled on a crack and barely caught himself. Boreal rumbled in concern and pressed closer until he caught his breath and balance and went back to his stubborn hobbling in Melita's wake, determined to keep up with her.
Somehow.
