Tal couldn't help but grin back in understanding. He wasn't really a 'pleasure cruise' kind of guy, either, but since the Peregrine was designed more for speed than luxury they were both in luck! "I mean, the drink with li'l umbrellas in 'em are okay, but the rest..." He shrugged eloquently. It turned into an awkward nod as his roundabout offer was accepted, and he turned to Fox's question with relief.
"Not 'til recently," he admitted. "Shit was kinda, uh, tense before th'War an' all. But now that you've got your skyport up an' runnin' there'll probably be more people movin' to an' from, an' wantin' stuff delivered to friends an' family who've moved here or away." Peace was definitely better for business than War had been, at least in his line of work!
The mention of Banshees was all it took for Tal to shudder in spite of the Flowerbirth warmth of anywhere that wasn't Halo the Grounds, rubbing his arms in reflex. "Fuckin' Banshees," he said with great fervor. "Never seen a Wicker Lady, but I never wanna see another Banshee again." He looked to Fox with new, grudging respect in his pale eyes. "Have y'hunted 'em before?"
