Tal grumbled quietly but he didn't really begrudge Ru helping someone else. Besides, coming to Torchline might have meant her running into Flora and he had no idea how that complicated mother-daughter relationship was going right now. It wasn't any of his business, either, but unfortunately that meant working with this joker.
Jester.
Whatever.
Boreal shot a small jet of flame in annoyance at a particularly ballsy Hel that had landed behind Lilly and was waddling towards her tail, beak open in threat/promise. Tal scowled harder and rested his hand on his knife, fingers tapping the pommel thoughtfully/ "Yeah, well, feeling's mutual-- see??" Ha! So it wasn't just him! But he was too annoyed to gloat over karma's deft wing.
"Huh? Nah, it's got nothin' t'do with these. They just showed up while I was eatin' lunch an' waitin' on you." This time when one swooped towards him he slashed out with the dagger and caught it across the chest. It tumbled to the sand, dying, and the nearest members of its flock fluttered away, calling out in distress at the sudden splash of blood across the beach.
He sheathed the blade again and gestured expansively at the sand that stretched along the beach. "Got some things to do for Frey, an' I needed some lightning-blasted sand. Glass. Stuff," he explained. "Figured we could start with somethin' easy." His grin twitched against the downward curve of his lips as he offered Sah the challenge.
