That was a good point that Tal hadn't wanted to think about and he grimaced but nodded. The work was too hard to allow for much talking after that; taking apart a reindeer was hard enough, but tackling an ursur required a level of exertion and stamina that left little breath for idle chatter until they'd finished the worst of the task.
At least the lack of blood made it a relatively clean job and Tal considered the pile of meat they'd amassed. "Can't fit it all on the sled," he admitted reluctantly with a scowl for not being better prepared. "Would've brought a bigger one if I'd thought... well, doesn't matter now. Let's get the skin an' tusks on it, though an'-- wait!" Expression lightening, he reached for his Bag of Holding and shook it out, then started shoving the large hunks of meat into it. "They're frozen solid an' not bloody, so why not?" He grinned and between the two of them they were soon able to save the meat and skin both, leaving a pile of empty bones and bloodless viscera on the Sea in their wake.
At least their households would be well stocked when Deepfrost came again.
