The laughter seemed to brighten the room, lifting a mourning vale that had hung over them. Thal let herself smile at the sound, sharing in the humor as she moved to think on 'connections' and 'friendships.' "I've met a few people in the Grounds already, and I'm sure I'll meet more, but this is also just an extra place to escape to. I still spend plenty of time in Torchline, so I'm sure we'll be seeing more of each other, and you're always welcome to visit." In other words, Don't feel guilty. She knew the other woman would probably clothe herself with the emotion if given the chance, but Thal wouldn't let this be another patch to add to the quilt.
She shrugged her shoulders, breaking off a piece of the sweet pie as she said, "I can understand why you would want to leave though - with your death and all." Thal couldn't imagine what kind of emotions she would feel if she'd literally died, or what kind of distance she would have to put between her and her previous life.
