Having recently spent an evening helping following Finn around while the man investigated a case of stolen antiquities, Tal was feeling extremely knowledgeable on the topic. "Someone who figures out who committed a crime so th'guards know who t'arrest," he revealed. But his pride faded a moment later at the unexpected note in Sah's voice. Tal slanted a glance at him that was perilously close to concerned, though he would swear it was just confusion as to the cause of that pain.
Before he could ask further, however, the captains were speaking and the two ended up going their separate ways. The courier stayed outside, relishing the wind in his face as he learned how the wheel was attached a rudder that helped steer the ship by catching the airstreams and how the different positions of the sails could raise and lower the speed of the floating vessel. He learned about tacking and lateral resistance and pivot points until he could feel his eyes glazing over inside his Goggles.
After a time as the winds picked up and the storm began to catch up the pilot had to turn her attention fully onto her task and went quiet. Tal watched a little while longer before tip-toeing down the stairs to the main deck and knocking diffidently on the door to the captain's cabin to see how Sah was getting on with his side of the research mission.
"Everythin' goin' alright?" he called over the wild song of the rising wind.
