And it burns like a gin and I like it,
Thal would argue that both activities can be just as fun, but she just gives Flora a confident grin. "I have some experience with those, although I'm better at making sure people stay silent. The fewer people that know, the more valuable the information, right?" Her grin sharpens with a mix of violence and cunning, making it hard to tell whether she enjoys the blood or coin more. She'd be more surprised if the queen didn't know about her presence in Torchline. Even if she isn't as infamous as Jack, she's certainly caused people trouble.
The chastisement is met with an unbothered tilt of her head as she raises an unimpressed brow, a soft laugh flowing between them. "Subtle." Although she has to admire the woman's skills, her ability to be so duplicitous in her own city, right under everyone's noses. If Thal wasn't so intrigued, she might bother to be intimidated.
She doesn't back down from the assessing gaze - doesn't even flinch - used to being sized up by a variety of formidable foes or lecherous vermin, and immediately proving why their estimation was incorrect. Thal meets her eyes with a steely look, serious despite the playful lilt in her voice. "Just make sure you're watching closely. Blink and you might miss it." The same way Asta had missed her snatching the Dragoon's coin purse, or how the queen had missed her own loss. Whatever the challenge, Thal plans to exceed and excel. Flora just has to give her a chance to prove herself.
