Tal just snorted at Sah's sheepish admission, throwing an elbow that was more of a companionable nudge into the Advisor's ribs. "Yeah, well, join the club," he replied a little gruffly to the discomfort of buildings and being stuck indoors. "I didn't become a courier 'cause I liked sittin' around inside all day."
When they got inside he looked over to Sah with raised eyebrows that kept climbing the more the other man spoke. First at being publicly called his friend (he managed not to wrinkle his nose, and the heat in the back of his neck and ears was hidden by his parka), and then at the more humble offer in trade that earned a reluctant nod of approval.
Since Sah had offered physical labor, Tal left it to him to help the cook while he worked out the details of the amounts with Mrs. Knotwise in her books. When the trade was settled he offered his Bag of Holding to help pack up the meat and rations inside the store so they could head to the sled.
Upon seeing Deimos and Evie standing together outside Tal slanted Sah a look but didn't say anything as they settled the contents of their hunting into place and then guided the sled back to the Council Hall with the others. Once there he distributed Knotwise's rations from his Bag, and left Took's goods on the sled for the others to deal with.
Tal uses his Bag of Holding to help transport Knotwise's rations and store them in their assigned place within the Council Hall.
