Thalassa
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
And there are many paths to tread
Content with his answer, she gave him a coy near-girlish smile. "It's settled then." It was a good thing that Astaroth didn't try using any other nicknames as Thal might not have been inclined to give him an understanding grin. "And maybe if the Grounds held more parties, I might be interested in agreeing with your vote." Her tendencies were more nomadic for the moment, but that didn't mean she hadn't seriously considered his suggestion to settle with the other Ancients.
She watched him step closer, still feeling more tense at the familiarity and uncomfortable urge to be somewhat friendly. To anyone else, his comment might have sounded like a threat, sending a sliver of fear into their chest at the idea of Astaroth choosing to hunt them. But Thal wasn't like others, she reveled in the chase, and if he did decide that she was interesting prey, she wasn't going to make it easy for him. So she looked up at him with excitemdnt. "Perhaps we can hunt together soon. I always find myself eager to spill blood." The glint of her eyes matched his flashing teeth and she gave him a conspiratorial look of unbridled mischief. "Maybe you could even teach me a thing or two from your vast experience." She knew she was laying heavily into the 'age' insults, but Thal found that she didn't quite care, her laugh filtering out like an ominous breeze.

Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Until the stars are all alight.
