"Wait'll Ru hears that you're tryin' t'cut in on her profits," Tal shot back, smoothing over the mess with the screed as Sah got to work with the shovel. "Or are y'givin' up huntin' t'be a mudboy at the spa?"
It was impressive how much difference using the right tool for the job made. When Tal paused to survey the repairs he grinned and wiped a little sweat off his brow, clearly pleased with this new result. The clay looked so smooth and fine that Boreal came back to check on it, and there was a look of wicked calculation in her eyes as she measured the distance across the freshly-smoothed clay to Tal's side.
The courier pointed the haft of his screed board at her warningly as she raised one foot and started to step into the clay--
"Hey! Venison bacon with cheese tonight if y'stay out o' th'muck!" The foot hovered and then slooowly retreated as she sat her butt down on the edge of the pool-in-progress and made a show of innocently cleaning her claws.
Tal heaved a sigh of relief and got back to work smoothing over the clay that arrived on the other half of the pool, figuring if it wasn't broke, why change it?
Tal bribes Boreal to stay out of the clay and keeps on smoothing with the screed board!
