Tal wasn't expecting Sah's lightning to miss, but he was already in motion to throw his axe and he did so with a great deal of extreme prejudice towards the toothy fucker that had bit his guildmate. Big and wicked at the beast was he didn't expect it to expire, but under the punishment of weapons and magic the landshark finally subsided.
Something the courier didn't trust right away, dragging his axe back hand-over-hand and holding it at the ready, panting, pale eyes focused entirely on the massive beast until Deimos moved into action and gave his marching orders. Only then did Tal start to ease up, daring to believe that it was over.
At least Sah was awake and alert and cracking jokes. Tal knelt down to check the laces on his boot and reached over to give the other man's shoulder a gruff squeeze and a grin that was more worried than smug. "Don't worry. I didn't," he assured the Advisor in response to his comment on missing his attack.
Then it was off the platform and down to the sand to collect what they could. He obligingly kicked the massive shark on the nose as he went past it - and tried not to wince as he possibly bruised a toe. Pragmatic to a fault, Tal just stuffed the two smallest sharks and their associated throwing axes into his Bag of Holding while Boreal spiraled down to investigate Medium. "Hold it steady," Tal called to her, and while the dragon obligingly pinned the body, he set to work with his larger axe chopping off the shark's head so they could hopefully wrestle both pieces into the Bag for taking back to Halo.
Like he'd told Deimos, an axe was tool as much as a weapon, and it certainly made for more efficient processing in a situation like this than a spear or sword.
Tal stuffs the two smallest sharks straight into his Bag of Holding and then gets to work chopping the head off Medium to cut it down to size and add it to the stash as well.
