At least up here they were out of the hallucinatory dust and Tal could almost appreciate the sere beauty of the place. It almost reminded him of Halo, what with the unending stretch of white beneath them, and Soh's excitement over the place was a powerful influence.

"Y'ever need anythin' I can help with, all y'have t'do is ask. You know that, right?" And sure he'd grumble and grump and put up a front about it, but he'd be the first one there and the last to leave.
