Tal didn't realize why the herd was only acting more skittish until it was too late. For once Boreal looked actually a bit sheepish as she subtly nudged Sascha behind Sah as if to say 'it was his fault,' even as she hunkered down and tried to make herself small.
"Oh for hail's sake..." Tal stopped singing to groan. He reached up to rub his face, then pulled himself together and met eyes with Alys. "Right. We gotta keep him--" he gestured to Sah, "--away from them. I'll try t'lure th'runner back if you can handle things here?" He flashed her a grin, trusting in her abilities, and then shared a wry glance and a one-shouldered shrug with Sah over how things were going.
Leaving Sah and Sascha to repair the barricade, Tal whistled Boreal up into the air to scout out the doe's path and he began to jog after her. He knew Snowcloak backwards, forwards, and sideways. All the blind alleys, dead ends, and short cuts were ones he had run around his whole life, and he used that knowledge and Boreal's shadow to herd the luxere into a blind alley. Boreal backed off at that point, gliding away while Tal stepped into the alley's entrance and began to sing again, soft and as gentle as he could manage while offering a granola bar from his bag as a peace offering to the frightened doe. Hopefully the combination of music, food, and good intentions would be enough to calm her so he could lead her back to the herd.
Tal goes after the runaway and tries to calm her down and lure her back.
