Tal was relieved to get the little winged lizard out of the net and into its box, but like Sah he watched it morosely as it curled up and seemed resigned to its fate. With a sigh he slid the box's straps back into his shoulders and hefted it onto his back. "Just the one," he confirmed. "Alive. Maybe they want it for a pet?" He wrinkled his nose in distaste at the idea, but his was not to question why. Since he'd accepted the job, he could only bring the critter back to the commissioner as promised.
And it was a better thought than that she wanted it as dinner.
He busied himself pulling the net off his glaive and tucking it into his Bag, not looking at Sah. "Hey uh. Thanks for... y'know. Hummin' an stuff. Would've taken a lot longer without that. Don't quit your day job or anythin' but... it wasn't the worst thing I've ever heard." Tal scowled down at the stump and rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably to try and hide the heat that gathered there and in his ears.
