"Maea? Uhh... nothin'." Tal scrunched up his nose, giving Sah a concerned side-eye. Had the hunter hit his head again? Or had the fight with the ursur left some lingering brain damage. The courier sincerely hoped not; his frenemy couldn't afford to lose any more when he hadn't had any to spare to begin with! "She helped me clear some Void Lotuses out o' th'Suvahasi recently. We're pretty good, unless she's told y'different...?" He couldn't imagine Maea bitching to Sah behind his back about him; he trusted the pale Ancient lady to tell him directly if they were having issues, and last he heard they were still fast friends and adventuring buddies. Hail, she was even his guild leader now that Edmund had retired!
But he shook off his worries for the moment and led they way back to the ship so they could both scamper up the rope ladder. The two-seater was almost refreshingly spacious without a multitude of oversized companions sitting on top of each other, and Tal was glad that they'd left the 'kids' back at the house to romp.
The Peregrine rose high enough to catch the crossbreeze and Tal bustled around the deck, adjusting the sail and rigging while Sah boasted about his son. The courier listened with a lopsided smile, letting his frenemy ramble on as they made the journey back to the house that he and Alys had built, even if he didn't get to spend as much time there as he'd hoped back in the beginning.
