Boreal crouched down to shield the smaller companion, ready to drop the pants and grab up the baby dragon if the sea panther turned towards them. Her mothering instinct with the sled dog pups extended to most other things that were small and fuzzy and Not Food™, and she wouldn't hesitate to scruff the noodle and fly them both to safety if that's what was needed.
Luckily for everyone involved, it wasn't. The Sea Panther subsided and though everyone was now on high alert and Boreal continued to stare out at the water, growling softly around Talyson's pants, the courier relaxed a little and pushed his shaggy hair back from his forehead.
"Sea, uh... cougar? Lion? Panther? ...thing," he answered the other man with a shaky breath. "Never seen one before... don't want to see one again." He shivered, feeling even more exposed and vulnerable than he had a few minutes before. Taking his eyes off the ocean just long enough to slant a glance over at the handsome young man, his brows still raised in awe and lingering fear. "Guessin' you're not from around here either, then?"
