He'd been called a lot of things before, but Tal had a momentary vision of Ludo appearing and turning him into a literal stuffed dolly if his hands went anywhere they didn't belong. He took the champagne glass back with extreme delicacy and let out a slow, careful breath of relief when Flora went to admire her feathers.
"Yeah, well... all part of the job," he managed with a sickly grin. "Thanks for choosin' Seawright's Courier Service..."
He looked down at the vodka and had a very hard think about the situation and exactly what sort of 'payment' he could request. In the end, though, the reminder of Ru had him nodding to himself and taking a steadying breath. "Actually... could you get your dad t'give me access to the Greatwood? A map would be even better but... I'd like to be able t'vis-- I mean, make deliveries there, too." He reached up to rub the back of his neck uncomfortably, sneaking a glance up to see Flora's reaction to his price.
Flora has received Ningo feathers from {se} where we tread
And Gore Crow feathers from Nothing to Fyr
