"Ooooh, yeah, I get it now." Tal nodded, damp bangs flinging more droplets out into the rain before sticking fast to his forehead again. "I dunno how much help my ring'll be, but I'll try!" If nothing else maybe it would give the Sentinel a break. The courier didn't miss how tired his friend's smile was, or how, despite being a demigod, he looked a little older than he had the year before. He might not have been able to take care of Noah's family, but he could maybe ease the man's burdens a little bit so he could get back to them himself a little sooner.
"Just... stick it in the mud?" He might have been a little dubious about the effectiveness of the plan, and not crazy about getting down and dirty in the fields, but if Noah could do it, Tal figured he had no right to be too proud about it. And it wasn't like he had ever worried too much about getting dirty before.
He crouched down and laid his hand flat into the mud, then pressed down so it oozed up between his fingers. He grimaced at the sensation, repressing a shiver that ran down his spine beneath his rain poncho, then focused his intention on the ring. "First time I've used it so, uh... here goes nothin'?" With an exhalation that was half-prayer for it to work, he called up the ring's Mastered Healing and directed it into the earth... however weird it felt. "Dunno how much good healin' the stuff is gonna do if it all just washes away," he admitted, glancing up at Noah with a worried crease between his brows. "Any chance Vi might, y'know, step in an' stop the rain for awhile?"
