Tal had been tucked in a corner towards the back, still wrapped in his flying gear after coming straight from the docks for the meeting after hearing about it on his way home. He hadn't been intending to say much, mostly wanting to just listen to what was planned for his home and his family. He'd worked on quietly holding up a wall with a mug of hot tea in his hand and his usual scowl on his face, uncomfortable as ever in such gatherings.
His scowl deepened as the Warden continued to speak and something felt... weird. Off. "So... it'll be tied t'the dome, yeah?" He asked first, wanting to confirm whether what was requested was the same as what Frey was offering. "An' is it keepin' out--" He waved his free hand upwards "-- things from enterin' from above? Like dragons? Or is it just keepin' out attacks? Like dragon breath weapons, or rocks thrown by Frost Giants?"
He shrugged. "I mean, if it's just for defense an' isn't keepin' people on th' ground out, what's wrong with havin' any Halovian citizen able t'activate it?" Pale eyes finally rose to meet Deimos 's gaze, his own jaw clenched no less tightly under the pressure of public speaking.
