[ Thancred would rather he never have to see Yennefer angry. He knows her well enough now to understand that if such a time does come, it will not be good. Which is why his statement still stands. Whether her temper burns hot or cold, he would not want to be on the receiving end of it. Thankfully, in this case all of her frustration had been focused on the creature that ambushed them, and it is not lost on Thancred that she'd rushed to his aid with no hesitation.
Yennefer moves to inspect Stephen's wounds and check him over. While she handles that (and if anything has been reopened, that will be a problem they'll need to address sooner rather than later), Thancred focuses his attention on the carcass. Whether or not Stephen is serious in his suggestion that they take some of the meat back, Thancred shrugs in a sort of quiet agreement. ] I could butcher it, but I think we're too far out from Borrel. The meat will have spoiled by the time that we return. [ If it had not been a creature from the sea, he might have had more hope that they could earn something for it, but that isn't to say that there isn't something of use here.
He steps through the sand around to the back of the felled beast once more, where the sparkling spheres that look very much pearls have sunken partially into the sand. ] Well, they appear to be pearls of some sort. These certainly seem worth taking back with us. [ A small wave crashes in and water laps up against his boots and the remains of the monster. Thancred flings his coat up to hang over his shoulder for a moment so that he can crouch down and scoop the pearls out of the sand before they're taken away by the tide.
Stephen wants to take his try at setting up the device, which is fine. Thancred will stay close at hand unless something else happens. He glances up and nods to Yennefer. ] Would you mind fetching the horses? My hands are a bit full at the moment. [ As another wave comes in, he bends down to submerge his hands in the water, holding them clasped together so that the sand can be washed away while the pearls remain. Then he looks to Stephen, giving a small jerk of his head to indicate that he can come forward to calibrate the device; Thancred will have his back, willing to sacrifice the pearls if he has to protect against another attack. ]
