Well thank fuck Frey for large miracles! Even if seeing that particular god right now made Tal wince a little and duck his head in shame. He would have edged behind Noah if he could have seen the Halovian, but things were moving pretty fast at that point and the next thing he knew it was all over but the looting.
"I ain't dead yet," Tal called back assurance to Flora, then exhaled a big breath of relief as Noah's magic washed over him. A twist of his own ring finished topping him up, but he looked sadly at his ship, resting his hand on a piece of her cracked hull as his expression turned morose. Noah's suggestion of moving the giant carcass drew a faint shake of the courier's head. "Sure, but where else can we shift it that won't be just as bad? I dunno. From what we saw at th'Lighthouse, I'd say cut it up an' burn it," he suggested to anyone who would listen.
But it wasn't his region to clean up or his giant monster to worry about anymore. He stroked the Peregrine's rail as if comforting a wounded animal. "I mean, I'll help. It's at least partly my fault it was oozin' everywhere. Just lemme get the ol' girl patched up a bit first."
