She watched Maea pick apart the pie, taking a bite of her own as she listened to her ramble on about her opinions. The viewpoint didn't surprise her, and Thal could see why it'd influenced her decision. However, that didn't mean she agreed.
Stretching out her legs, she crossed her arms in a way that kept her glass available. Her own eyes became distant as she thought about her recent years climbing the pirate's hierarchy. Somewhat distracted, she said, "My personal experiences have shown me that only the strong - or those with powerful connections - survive." Looking back to Maea, she showed no remorse. "If someone's stupid enough to piss off the wrong person then that's on them." Perhaps it was the Darwin in her, but in her line of work - and as a hunter - she couldn't afford to be weak. Others wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of her weaknesses.
Thal took another deep sip of scotch. "I can't speak for Asta or his decisions. I just can't say I care." She shrugged her shoulders again, letting Maea decide whatever she would about her.
