"Think so!" He seriously hoped so, because lingering in the pissed off tiger's vicinity didn't seem like a healthy life choice. Another muffled yowl echoed through the underground forest as the cat made angry noises around chewing the rhampire meat. The courier flashed the hunter an adrenaline-filled grin as the small jar sloshed to the brim with molten gold, and he quickly secured the lid so nothing would spill out or scald them.
He tiptoed over to the pit and peeked over the edge, studying the cat with his Goggles for a few more seconds and watching it prowl the small space as it ripped and tore at the increasingly-smaller hunks of meat. Its eyes seemed to gleam in the reflected light of its stripes and it looked up and met his eyes squarely. The tiger hissed and crouched over its meat and Tal hurriedly backed up.
"Let's get outta here! Boreal can keep an eye on th'tunnel from above an' make sure he gets out too." They'd come back if they needed to in order to free the tiger from their cage, but Tal still hoped it would be able to free itself after they'd put some distance between them. Suiting action to words, the courier started hoofing it for the Undergrove entrance they'd used before.
