What was a fun interaction for Thalassa was decidedly not fun for Alys, and as the Ancient leaped from the tree and stalked around her like a cat with a mouse, the seer watched her warily, growing more and more nervous as the minutes passed. As Thalassa openly mocked her illusion magic - which Alys had always been sensitive about - her cheeks heated and her grip tightened impossibly further on her dagger. She didn't like where this was going. She didn't like where this was going at all.
How had she gotten herself into this mess, without anyone around to even hear her scream?
She spared a glance for the blink hare, which seemed to have given up on escape and crouched against the soil, twitching and quivering in fear and exhaustion. It seemed cruel to leave it to its fate. For all she knew, the woman who circled them liked to play with her food, and Alys was loathe to allow the creature to suffer. She wasn't opposed to hunting - she'd hunted for herself, sometimes, back in Halo. If Thalassa wanted the poor thing for a meal, the seer didn't have a problem with that, per se... but she wasn't inclined to join the animal in death. And something about the way Thalassa watched her made her feel like such an ending was very possible in this scenario.
It took great effort for Alys to step away from the hare, gesturing to it with her blade. She struggled to sound nonchalant as she said, "By all means, don't let me get in your way." She prayed that Thalassa wouldn't see the way her fingers shook slightly as she sheathed her dagger. If she needed it again, her telekinesis would draw it and wield it in a flash, but she hoped that if she backed down, so, too, would the Ancient.
