It hadn't even crossed Tal's mind that this crap could be getting into the food supply, and he looked a little green around the gills as he considered the mess with a whole new level of disgust that he hadn't known he was capable of. It made him want to get the Peregrine fixed even faster, but since he was stuck for the time being he resolved to be as careful as possible in getting every last gobbet and clot off the beach and away from the water.
Conversation might make the work a little less awful, though he was soon glad of the Deepfrost coolness in the air as they began to work up a sweat with all the scooping and raking and hauling bags. "Damn, guess it was bound t'happen eventually." Not that he would have minded a few more trades out of the Queen first! But easy come, easy go, as the gamblers said. News of her current quest had him blinking and then giving a curious grumble as he used a thick stick of driftwood to carefully nudge and scoop the growing pile of jiggly purple flesh(??) and assorted offal into the waterproof sacks from the cart. "Ewww-- I mean, uh, yeah. Me too. Though I guess he didn't say what kind o'luck. Bad luck might still count, too?"
Tal keeps raking and bagging the purple goo into waterproof sacks to get it off the beach!
