Tal glared a little when he was nudged behind the hunter, but something that flickered across Sah's face stifled his protest. He stepped back silently, pulling his Goggles into place to protect his eyes as he watched the storm deepen above them. It didn't take long for things to start getting spicy, and the courier scowled against the wind that tried to tug his hair out of the neat queue he'd pulled it back into.
One would have been enough, but several strikes lanced down in quick succession before he could protest. Tal squinted through his protective eyewear in alarm, a little thread of worry curling like ice down his spine as he peered at his Vest to make sure it was still intact--
"Yeah, yeah that's great, thanks," he mumbled absently, patting Sah's shoulder in his distraction. He was pretty sure the Vest was still unharmed, but he wouldn't know for certain until he'd gotten his hands back on it. "Now can y'keep it away from me while I get it back?" Wouldn't that be just the sort of thing to make Ludo cackle? Getting hit by lightning after finishing the first task!
Though speaking about getting hit by lightning...
Once he was sure that Sah had control of the local storm, enough to protect him at least, Tal darted past the other man to retrieve his armor. Getting off the pole took a moment, but as soon as it was cool enough to touch he had it wrapped around his shoulders and was buttoning it closed again. "C'mon. Let's head back t'the Glade an' check on th'companions. An' then maybe y'can help with the next task?" he asked hopefully, already leading the way off the lightning-scattered plain.
