Tal had been intending to simply touch Sah, Healing his friend himself, but he didn't argue when the hunter took the Ring and did it himself. He only winced and waited for the item to be returned before slipping it back on his finger.
The hungry island rustled around them, drawn to the scent of spilled blood and the clearing seemed to grow smaller as foliage leaned or crept or wriggled closer, but Tal kept his attention on Sah to make sure the other man really was okay before he finally exhaled and went to collect his Dagger. As he turned away from the Wild Thunder to do so he accidentally revealed some of the answer to the question: a set of large tooth-holes in the rear of his trousers and the squashed remains of the Preying Orchid he'd sat back on when he'd fallen from his spear-wound.
"Somethin' bit me in th'ass," he grumbled, carefully cleaning his weapon before sheathing it. "I was tryin' t'knock it off when I stumbled into you." He straightened and turned around to offer Sah a hand up. "C'mon, let's get outta here. Th'island's gettin' restless, an' I don't think we should stick around for lunch!"
