"Huh. I, uh... I guess I never thought of it like that," Tal mused. "When y'put it that way, I guess it makes sense that it's a li'l messy." And it didn't really bother him. He was too busy to participate much anyways, and he'd mostly joined to help out Sohalia and Soleil in case they bit off more than they could chew.
He opened his hand peering down at the smooth, cool stone that he held. It was the size of a large chicken egg, roughly oval in shape and polished so that the dim light caught within it, almost seeming to glow in the Grotto's shadows. It was a pale, rose quartz, pretty and not without value, but hardly an expensive treasure worthy of a smuggler. Just how it had gotten into that hole was likely a whole story in its own right, but Tal stopped admiring it to look up at Maea sharply as she grinned at him.
"What kind o'research?" he asked, immediately wary about anyone he knew putting themselves in jaw's-reach of a corrupted critter. He'd seen the purple fyrhund bite Flora and it wasn't something he wanted to see again!
