Fox would soon learn that Tal wasn't the best at manners. But his heart eventually got to the right place usually and his aim with his Dagger was pretty decent, so it was up to the Ancient whether that was worth dealing with the rest of the package that came with it.
"Could be," he agreed easily with the other guy's assessment. Then he shrugged and edged closer to the gator's mouth, using a short stick to lift up the skin and examine the teeth. "Coulda been two different people, too, I guess. Sounds like this sucker was gettin' t'be a real problem for everyone in the area." Given its size, it was easy to see why.
He slanted another glance back at Fox, who was definitely more goat than fox or, uh... something... else? Tal cleared his throat awkwardly naturally and didn't notice when his stick missed the gator's lip and poked into its nostril instead. "Oh yeah? You, uh. Happen to be an Attuned, by chance?" Smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy.
