At least Sah stopped picking at him and Tal took that as a tentative win (even if the hunter hadn't meant it as such). He nodded and shrugged out of his own sweater so he was down to pants and his short-sleeved undershirt for the fight. It wasn't exactly fair to ask his partner to take a cut if he wasn't willing to do the same, after all.
His own knife - the one with the lucky blink hare's foot dangling from the diamond pommel; Sah would recognize the one - was already in his hand as the hunter stepped into the ring and Tal gave his friecolleague a toothy grin. "What? Got somewhere else t'be all of a sudden?" Even before he'd finished speaking Tal was darting in at an angle like Deimos had taught him, lunging to Sah's right even as the knife came around towards the hunter's chest in feint that diverted at the last second to try and nick the Sah's wrist instead of his body. His free hand hovered around the level of his chest, partially extended and ready to slap away any return blows towards his own torso.
