She bows to no one.
When she looked at Maea, she was surprised to see the dark emotions flitting across her face. Obviously, there was a deeper reason for her avoidance of singing, but Thal chose not to pry. Instead, she shrugged her shoulders casually. "Suit yourself. If singing isn't your thing, it doesn't have to be to music. We could play a rhyming game. Or word association. Or something."
Her attention was drawn back to their surroundings. A pool of nearby water portrayed a snowy landscape void of any civilization in sight while another peered into the lair of an unseen beast, only bleached bones and rattling snores alluding to its presence. Thal began to wonder if the windows were visible from the other side. Better not to find out.
Still slightly behind the other Ancient, her stride lengthened to walk next to her. Choosing to ignore the itching desire to lose herself again, she focused on Maea and their conversation. "You can't tell me you don't feel the same way I do in these woods. We're clearly not making any visible progress towards the exit." Thal narrowed her eyes and indicated to the towering trees around them. "I may not know what trickery is attempting to trap us, but I think the only way we're getting out of here is if we work together to block whatever magic this is." She looked back at Maea, secretly hoping the more experienced Ancient would say she was wrong.
