Tal looked at Maea's bloody hands and grimaced, fishing a handkerchief out of his pocket and wordlessly handing it over. Might have been nice to have some water magic at a time like this, but they made do with what was available. "Interestin', sure. Mebbe a little too interestin'!" He scowled down at the body of the Void Messenber and after a moment's hesitation he sent Boreal a mental warning and then toed the carcass off the roots and into free fall.
After looking the ring over to make sure it wasn't damaged, he pocketed it carefully. He definitely wanted to get it properly cleaned up before he wore it again after it had been in the mouth of a void beastie! Now he just had to try not to lose it again before he could find a jeweler in Stormbreak to check it over and disinfect it.
No sooner had he done that then Maea's question brought his head up. He peered around the coiling roots with a frown, brows beetling in thought. "Um. We should probably head back..." he admitted, trying to be a responsible adult. And it wasn't like he was usually a big risk taker or anything. But he'd heard about the smuggler stashes down here - every skyship captain did, sooner or later - and if one thing was stronger than his wariness, it was his greed. "But we prob'ly won't be back anytime soon so... long as th'roots hold us, we can poke around a bit," he decided, flashing Maea a sheepish, guilty grin. "Might even find some treasure down here, if we're lucky!" Preferably unguarded!
