Thalassa
A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
Her cocky, domineering attitude falls short when the woman passes out in front of her. Maybe it's exhaustion from the hailing of aid. Or maybe Thal was too late to save her from nature's grasp. Or maybe this is a dream and she's being pranked. Glancing around for good measure, she confirms that there is no one else around and that they are still - quite literally - in the middle of the water. A concerned expression comes over her face now that the woman is unconscious and she extends her hand in preparation to jostle her awake, but before her fingers come in contact, she sees the indicative furrowing of her brows. Unbelievable. Not only has she fallen asleep, but she's dreaming. It amazes her how some people can just sleep anywhere.Thal is about to make a snide comment and shove the woman overboard when her eyes begin to open again. With a sickly-sweet smile, she asks, "Did you sleep well, Your Highness?" Batting her eyelashes in cold mocking, she continues, "If it would please you, we will be arriving to the marketplace in but a moment, however, please don't worry a hair on your little head. I live only to serve." Her last words are emphasized by the crashing of the dingy against the outer border of a ship's deck, closing the curtains on her little show. The edges of her eyes sharpen to daggers and her lips transform into a vicious sneer. Even the tone of her voice darkens to a dangerous level. "Don't mistaken my actions for kindness. Either do as I say or get out of my way."
She stands to leap onto the more solid footing of the large ship, leaving the woman to exit herself this time. If she falls in, Thal will just chalk it up to natural selection. She did what she could for the hopeless case. It will go down as her good deed of the year and no one will blame her for it. If not, she calls over her shoulder, "Clothes are this way. Unless you are trying to meet the gods early." Her steps are light and quick as she makes her way to the shops, waiting to hear signs of following footsteps.
