Tal scowled automatically as his shoulder was bumped, and bumped Sah back so they jostled like two young bucks in Leafchange heading out the door. He at least waited for the Advisor while pelts were obtained and the companions chased each other around in the snow. Raised alongside the sled dogs, Boreal was familiar with canine mannerisms and enjoyed the chance to play with someone new; carefully keeping her wings folded tight to avoid injury to herself or Lilly.
The butcher's 'greeting' earned a roll of Tal's eyes towards Sah when Mr. Took wasn't looking, but his voice was firmly courteous in the pursuit of his vocation. "Yessir. Two days ago," he assured his customer before trailing over to see how Sah's efforts would go.
About as well as he'd expected, given Took's grumpiness. The courier elbowed Sah's ribs surreptitiously as he stepped forward. "Thirty," he shot back immediately at the lowball. "An' I'll throw in a blanket five percent discount at Seawright's Sundries for the rest of the season." Mallory would take it out of his hide, but he could use Deimos's name to smooth things over with her. Dierdre would just be annoyed to see more of Took, but she'd forgive him eventually.
Tal counters for 30 stacks (chunks? pounds? pieces?) of dried meat and throws in a discount at his family's general goods store.
