Tal's grumbling cut off abruptly at the chastisement from Deimos and he ducked his head, shooting Sah a dark scowl for making him look bad in front of the General. At least he only had to be told twice, though; thereafter he satisfied himself with shooting daggers at Sah when a telekinetically-balanced beam swung too close to him.
At last the constructions were finished, and Tal slid a hopeful glance towards Deimos. The other man's annoyance at his Sah's earlier troublemaking hadn't appeared to have abated yet, and the courier deflated a little. "Got it, sir," he mumbled. Picking the platform farthest from Sah, Tal swung up with more grace than he would have a month ago; his practice in the climbing wall in the training grounds was beginning to pay off, and he quickly reached the top and began checking his throwing axes for ease of reach and looseness in their carrying loops. He also made sure the bigger axe was ready to use if things went wrong.
Tal picks the platform farthest from Sah and readies his throwing axes and fighting axe.
