Or breathing? Honestly, fifty-fifty at this point, since there were still no tracks to indicate how Amun had arrived.
"Thanks, uh, for the offer though." He didn't want to risk pissing off any spirits, just in case! But the dogs were only a short distance away, and Tal was confident in his ability sprint lightly over the thickly-crusted snow if he had to. Sometimes there were perks to being so scrawny!
But then Amun spoke so casually of offending the gods that Tal's brows rose to his hatline and he paused his cautious retreat to eye the other man curiously. "You're not afraid of the gods getting mad at you? Isn't that... kinda dangerous? I mean, I get not bein' friends with Ludo. He gave me nightmares after I played his game," Tal admitted with a scowl. "But Safrin seems pretty nice."
