Well, now Tal really had something to howl about as a spear pierced into his calf, catching and severing muscle and tendon as well as tearing the tough cloth of his pants. As the muscle separated and blood flowed freely down to the thirsty soil of the carnivorous island the courier's leg collapsed, taking him down and down hard. He released his Dagger even before Sah spoke in favor of clutching at his own injury and trying to hold the wound closed around the spear still sticking out of it so his Ring could do its work without him losing even more blood.
...Except he couldn't, because Sah had grabbed his wrist for some gods-be-damned reason.
"Fuck your own hell, Sah!" He growled back through gritted teeth, panting against the pain as he jerked his arm free - later he'd be surprised at how easy it had been to break the hunter's hold - to clap his hand over his cut and activate the Ring.
Healing swept through him, pushing the spear's blade out of swiftly-knitting muscle and skin and the tension in his face and neck eased as he was finally able to draw a full breath again. As the spear hit the ground he finally looked over to his frenemy with an apologetic grimace. "Sorry about that. That time I wasn't even tryin' t'hit you. D'you need an extra boost...?" he asked, wiggling his fingers so that the Ring glinted benevolently in the dappled light.
