"Oh, He's not the one who's bad at flying...that would be me," Tal said with a grim laugh. It irked him to be so bad at something that he was putting forth an honest effort for...in fact, being below average was probably the one thing that made him care enough to try. He'd always been good at the things he did, and lacking natural talent was grating to him. He wasn't so much competitive as he had high expectations of himself, and this was the first time he'd ever poured his effort into something only to come up with no real results. It was baffling and he didn't like it one bit, but Khaduceth had been instrumental in showing him that it was okay. Perhaps the sky would not fall if they weren't the best. Shards, maybe being sub-par was saving his craft...
"Fate?" He offered a mellow but skeptical smile. "No such thing." There was no accusation or condescension, just a fact. Fate was a silly thing to believe in; there was no logic to support it., just the comfort in blaming one's circumstances on something beyond anyone'e control. Tal's life would have been easier if he accepted the existence of fate, but just because he didn't have an answer for Khaduceth yet didn't mean one wasn't out there. He smiled pleasantly, then nodded to Iisscer.
"I'll need to look at it a time or two, but it won't require much maintenance. Noses break easily, but they heal pretty painlessly too," he said. "I'll send you a flitter when I'd like to see it, okay? You just maker time whenever you can." He nodded once more and gave Khaduceth one more gently pat on the snout before calling Fellis back to his arm and turning to head inside. It had been a long day, and a nap would be good about now. He only hoped that he'd eased Isscer's mind a bit. He remembered how it felt to so badly need comfort.
