The main lesson learned from the day was that Boreal was not a herding dragon. Her instincts were completely different, and her mannerisms were... well, those of a large predator who wasn't too picky about her meals. What they probably needed was a small, nippy dragon in the vein of Pip or Sugar. Instead they had her, and the luxere were having none of it.
Music and food undid the worst of her influence, at least, and Tal coaxed the luxere back to the herd, sweating the whole way as he waited for her to spook at something else. He didn't relax until she trotted back to join her family, and when he glanced around for Sah to see how the hunter was getting along he saw his sign and heaved a long-suffering sigh. "Right. Sure. Like it's gonna be that easy," he opined morosely to Alys. "Hail. Well, if y'can keep 'em calm, I'll clear a path, I guess."
Boreal was decidedly not invited along on this portion of the journey as Tal trotted off down the shortest route to the main gate, urging people out of the way to clear the road for the herd that was hopefully following behind with Alys. When they saw what was coming behind him they cleared out a lot faster, and soon there was a straight, open avenue leading out of the Citadel.
Tal clears a path to the gate!
