Hide was the most valuable item, and if the man wanted the horns then they were probably valuable as well - more than the meat, at least. Kel thought it over as he continued to work, emptying the carcass of unnecessary excess weight but keeping a sharp eye on the older man as he ambled closer and gave the feathered body a poke - far from the knife, but the young hunter was tense at the closing of distance between them, however casually slow.

But he was wary of being taken advantage of, as he'd already been in Haulani. "One horn," he offered firmly, hoping it was enough.
