Tal started to dust himself off but stopped just in time when he realized he was using the gooey gauntlet. He shifted from foot to foot in indecision for a moment before gingerly using his other hand to try and pat off some of the grime from his slide. "Playin' tag with a Voidweaver," Tal answered ruefully as he did more to smear the dirt around than remove it.
He whistled his dragon over, getting her to grip the less-slimy gauntlet in her teeth for a brief game of tug-tug before she managed to get it off his hand. She paraded it proudly over to Isar to show it off as Tal used his now-free hand to dig into the Bag at his side and pull out a water canteen that he dumped over his other hand to rinse it - and the trinket - off.
"I needed it alive, 'least until I'd gotten this sorted out," he admitted as he worked. He gave the raggedy man a closer look as they spoke, his dark brows furrowing in thought. "Say, y'don't happen t'live here, d'you?" he asked hopefully.
