"Fuckin' Neron," Tal grumbled bitterly at the ex-Warden's name, his scowl making a reappearance. He lifted a foot to kick at a small rock the way he wanted to kick Neron--
But Deimos's earlier warnings on motion and noise surfaced just in time, and the courier managed to set his foot back down gently without stumbling.
"Well, even if it doesn't want to help us, wouldn't want it mad at us." The young man gave a shrug, resettling his pack more comfortably against his sweaty back. "An' we were comin' out here anyway, sooo..." He trailed off with a verbal shrug for killing two ningo with one stone.
The dead plants seemed pretty normal out here, though Tal didn't have a good grasp of what constituted 'normal' in a desert. He padded quietly behind Deimos without giving them a second thought, eyes lighting up at the mention of Safrin. "Oh, hey! I got to meet her! You were right about how pretty she is." There was a decided bounce in his step at the memory of the kindly goddess. "She's gonna help me with my goggles." Proudly said, though with perhaps a little trepidation at the tasks ahead.
