"Not even a magical pair o' earplugs t'tune you out?" Tal teased back wickedly. Even if Sah was willing to craft him something - and the courier didn't really doubt that he would - it still meant that he'd have to ask for it, first, and that wasn't going to come easy to the young man's pride.
He'd been expecting the water fight to continue, so Sah almost caught him with the surprise lunge. Tal twisted and sucked in his stomach as he turned so the hunter's push would miss, but the courier wasn't the same lanky twig he'd been when they'd met, inexperienced and untrained. This time his reflexes kicked in and he tried to grab Sah's outstretched arm and use the other man's momentum to pull him past the courier and down into the water on the other side - also being careful of the rocks. This was meant to be fun, not painful!
