As the Wolf Lord began to calm himself for his great laughter TalOS decided now was a fine time to ask, “You mention you have killed such a powerful creature, do you have a piece of it in storage?”
Leman looked upon TalOS with a moment’s confusion before giving a more dangerous grin, “Of course I have them, as trophies to my numerous victories against a great many creatures. Many I do not have here, but many I never travel without.”
“Then guide the way brother.” TalOS urged the other giant of a man as he rose from his seat.
“Very well!” Cheered the Wolfman as he began walking away.
The two of them passed UZ1 and the Thane, the two of them talking amongst themselves. UZ1 looked at TalOS with a moment’s ponder as if to join him or not but TalOS gave a shaking of the head. Calculations told the Primarch that he would have far more success with his brother with the two alone now than any other situation.
“If you are worried about the drink I have plenty in my chambers.” Leman Russ declared heartily as they navigated the massive wooden walls of a voidship, “You handle your brew well though brother.”
“The Machine Spirits are trying their best to maintain my bloodstream’s integrity. I will be the first to admit that even they are losing the battle against the brew that you had created.”
“Hah! Then we will soon break you into a drinker! Hmm, but can I call you a milkdrinker when you consume oil?”
“Oil consumption is a minimal part of my diet I assure you.” TalOS told the man while presenting a small smile, “I focus on the consumption of water and non-processed Corpse Starch.”
Leman looked upon TalOS for a moment’s concern, “Have you eaten boar or bear?”
“I have consumed such foods twenty eight times in my lifetime, all when I was presenting myself to those outside of the Mechanicum. If you ask what I count as a luxury it would be processed Corpsestarch and I feast upon that two times a month.”
There was a moment’s disbelief upon the face of Leman Russ as if TalOS told him something far more devastating, “Brother, before you leave I shall grant you a part of my meat stocks. Maybe if you eat something more real you will grow taller.”
“I shall accept such a gift, but I assure you that Corpsestarch has all the nutrients needed for human and Primarch development.”
The wolf simply gave a shrug to that, “Well it better. It's made from people.”
