Tal was far more used to running than fighting, having actively avoided physical confrontation most of his life - particularly when it came to Halo's impressive fauna. It was only recently that he'd begun to change that and old habits still lingered, however enthusiastically he'd thrown himself into the risks and rewards of training with the General.
One of those rewards was their current kill as it was sectioned into its component parts beneath their knives and with the 'help' of their companions.
He nodded to his friend's wisdom, but the question that followed his addendum to his plan caused Tal to sit back on his heels, brow furrowed in consternation. "Oh, uh... I don't... know? I thought maybe stuff I stuck in there would stay the way it was when I put it in," he admitted. "Until I took it out again." But most of the things he'd used it for had been tools, weapons, or traveling rations that would have lasted as well in a backpack. "D'you know if it'll hold snow in the Climb? ...Or at least, water?" The question came a little sheepishly as the extent of his assumptions was brought to light.
