"Sorry!" Tal hollered, wincing in sympathy as the invisible blade of his distance-Dagger came uncomfortably close to giving Sah a nonconsensual haircut. It really was an accident, but that wouldn't have changed the pain the hunter would have felt if the courier had connected. Luckily he hadn't, but the Wild Thunder had distractions enough of his own that when he shot out his telekinesis it missed the snake and instead pinned Tal's foot to the ground. Luckily it didn't do any damage, but the courier's forward momentum jerked to a halt and he was thrown off balance, landing face-first in the damp soil of the Greatwood.
On the plus side, the snake also missed as its lunge went high, and Tal was able to roll over and stab it before it could gather itself back together for another attack. It hissed and writhed and the courier scrambled hurriedly out of the way on hands and knees, fetching up against Sah's legs finally. "You take the high ones an' I'll take th'low!" he called up to his frenemy, lashing out wildly in an invisible arc at the circle of snakes that had fallen around them and were beginning to slither closer, hissing with soft menace.
The snake coiled around Sah's shoulders shook its head and then opened its jaws wide to lunge at the hunter's ear, intending to give him a pair of new cartilege piercings free of charge!
