Tal squinted at Sah in mock-suspicion at his unwillingness to 'tell' but it only lasted a moment before his grin quirked up in triumph. It was a point to him if the hunter had to be that vague, right? Either way, he was taking it as having won the round, and he looked entirely too satisfied with himself.
It was... not the worst thing, really, to have Sah worried about him. Annoying as hail, sure, but they'd been through enough that he could accept it without too much protest.
He just couldn't let Sah know that.
Patting his hair smugly back into place it promptly slide sideways again as soon as his hand was off the wayward tress, he blinked in surprise at the sudden offer of a hug. His nose wrinkled as he took a few seconds to process that he'd heard the hunter correctly and then a look of dawning horror came over his face. "Oh no, don't you dare!" He glared warningly at the other man and took a half-step away from him. "I didn't bring enough soap to scrub that off!" And he gestured to Sah's whole... all of him.
Sure, they'd just seen a dead body pulled out of the Roar, but sometimes a distraction and a reminder that they were still alive while that poor lady wasn't was what they needed to cope.
