Despite being confronted with a literal lake full of nightmare fuel, Tal couldn't have been prouder of his companions on the hunt. Neither Thal nor Maea faltered under the influence of the corrupted flowers, and he couldn't argue with their plan of attack.
"My Dagger's not gonna be much use against this many," he agreed with a scowl of reluctance. It wasn't something he was happy to admit to, but there was no denying that the current situation called for 'area of effect.' Unfortunately, he had focused his own damage into hitting one thing real hard, and wasn't prepared to hit lots of smaller things all at once. Although he hated stepping back and leaving it to his friends when he was the instigator of this hunt, he couldn't argue with Maea's warning.
"Heat, I can take," he grumbled, mostly to hide his reluctance to leave them. "But I don't want t'get in your way..." And he would be in their way if he stayed. Even with his Frey-granted protection, he'd be a distraction that they'd worry about.
"Give 'em hail for me, yeah?" he asked Thalassa, punching her lightly on the arm with gruff camaraderie as he headed back into the horrible short little tunnel that led back to the teardrop cave. The effects of the combined lotuses was stiflingly anxious and his Goggles couldn't do anything about the shadows that darted and twisted at the edges of his vision, growing more solid the longer they lingered within the effects of the tainted perfume.
Tal agrees with Thal's idea for burning the Void Lotuses and reluctantly follows Maea's recommendation to clear the area so the Ancients can work!
