It was a very good mirage as it moved towards him, Tal had to admit. Much more solid than the palm trees, but why the fuck did it look like--
Then the mirage opened its mouth and Tal froze.
Oh.
Well, at least now he knew how to look for differences between mirages and not-mirages, even if his cheeks were burning at the mistake. He scowled at Sah's smirk reflexively even as pale eyes wandered over the other man's attire. He looked more at home in the desert than Tal did, which did nothing to soothe his ruffled feathers at having been caught out in a silly mistake.
He had more mirages to hunt for Safrin, but first...
"Why don't you find out?" he called back, straightening up and spinning the glaive lightly in his hands with a cocky grin until it rested in a defensive position and he slid a foot back to present his less-scrawny-than-it-used-to-be side to Sah. Somewhere between a spear and an axe, he'd found a weapon he could really dance with!
