There was still one thing that made Charath bad, though. It was something she couldn't help, but also happened to be her worst quality. She was a dragon.
Tal bit his lip and looked at her. Erisi's request resonated in his mind for a few long seconds as he considered the situation. The little demon obviously meant something to his friend now. They had a bond that would be part of each of them forever, and the same was true of Valerian and his little blue. Erisi was asking Talian to give her a chance...
No matter how much he didn't want to, Tal couldn't bear the thought of winding up like Nemall, whose relationship with B'jin had come to a violent end after a decades long feud with Larrikith. Tal couldn't stand the idea of winding up like that, to see the look on Eri's face as he made the inevitable choice. A lump formed in Tal's throat.
He looked at Eri with a mixture of distaste and empathy. His lips said nothing, but his eyes said 'only for you'. They widened with what may have been pain as he knelt down and extended one hand in greeting to the little green. He expected her to bite it off, but he held it steady just the same, just to show that he would. No matter how much he didn't want to, he would.
He would give her one chance, for Eri. Eri deserved that much.
"Um, hello there Charath. My name is Talian," he whispered, trying to be optimistic. It was hard for him, but he was at least putting in a visible effort.
