Boreal's head came up with rumble of interest when the treats came out and Tal grinned at her, pocketing a couple lial teeth and then reaching into a different pocket for her favorite spiced jerky. She wolfed it down with relish as Tal made note of brownies as the preferred vehicle of culinary gratitude, already scheming to wheedle Dierdre's extra creamy fudge icing recipe out of her to top the rich, moist treats with. "You got it!" And maybe he could steal one or two while he was at it.
For taste-testing purposes, of course. It wouldn't do to give the guildmaster an inferior gift!
"Nah, we can use the rest for whatever, I think." The request from Frey might have seemed wasteful, but the god surely knew that two Halovians weren't going to kill something just for one body part. They could probably find a use for just about every piece of the beast, given its rarity across the border. "I can start sectioning it up," he offered, unslinging his axe and getting to work while Boreal huffed and moved into position to watch the lava pools while the men worked.
Between them and their Bags of Holding the beast was soon reduced to bits and bobs that disappeared for convenient carrying and further processing in a safer locale. In a much more cheerful frame of mind than he'd arrived, Tal headed back home beside his stoic friend and their four-legged allies.
