Thalassa
You could do anything,
if you only dared.
if you only dared.
Messing with the Captain's sweets was akin to a death warrant. Her sailors often begged for mercy at the slightest suggestion that they may have ruined her delicious desserts, groveling and pleading. However, they also knew that her hand could be softened with an offered replacement or substitute.
As Thal stared down the woman, her fangs were on full display as she debated which method of torture was sufficient for the transgression. A quick beating maybe? Or the piercing of her fangs? Perhaps her flames would serve as a long-lasting reminder? Even her shiny new daggers could be a viable option. All this was going through her mind as she pointedly ignored the apologies and excuses. It wasn't until the redhead offered double the original tarts that the Ancient's expression shifted.
Her smile became viciously sharp. "That might suffice to spare your life, but you still owe me." Standing slowly, her short frame did nothing to diminish the dangerous grace of her steps. The black cloak hid all except her blazing blue eyes, a few strands of dark hair peeking out like shadowy wisps."Are you willing to pay for your error?"

And deep down, you know it too.
That’s what scares you most.
