It was an awkward ass attempt to tip Sah over, Tal had to admit, and it wasn't made easier by having the breath knocked out of him by that knee. So it wasn't exactly a surprise when it failed, though he did yelp as he was shoved down instead. The Wild Thunder landed on top of him as he rolled onto his back, but at least it gave him a chance to get his breath back, because he had three little words for his frenemy:
"Go fuck yourself," Tal growled, but he was laughing as he said it. And there was a wicked gleam in his eyes as he activated his Ring to heal himself. The bruises soothed away between one heartbeat and the next, and even though he was the one pinned down instead of vice versa the courier had a shit-eating smirk on his face. "Forgot t'mention it at th'beginnin', but winner gets t'do th'dishes tonight," he announced with relish. "Right, Lily?" he called, enlisting the wolf's aid and knowing full well that she'd enjoy helping Boreal clean the plates before they made it to the sink for Sah to scrub!
