Thalassa
They created the monster
It's hard to ignore the ghosting of his shadows, the way they waft around her like smoke, tempting her to reach out, to wrap them around a finger, to pull them closer. But Thal holds her ground, eyes fixed on the all the little nuances of his gaze, how it darkens, shifts, and ripples like the deep currents of the ocean that promises undiscovered dangers behind every crevice. She can't say a tide jaguar will be able to compete with her own shift, but she hums nonetheless, the sound sweet and seductive on her tongue. "Deal." They'll see how 'well-matched' they are indeed.
A fanged grin is the only warning she gives him, a suggestion that he might want to step back. Then, with a flicker of a thought, her spine lengthens, horns straightening along the side of her head as her hair gives way to familiar dark blue-black scales that spread down her skin. Fingers and toes sharpen to claws that glint dangerously like the teeth that suddenly triple in size, every single one as sharp as daggers. Membranous wings sprout from her arms, spreading wide to devour the glowing light around them, looming and dark in their figure. Her thin Ancient tail flicks once more before widening to match her larger form, completing the shift along with a low vibrating rumble in her chest.
Thal tilts her head to look at Vesper, the burning blue of her eyes still shimmering with challenge as she tucks her wings gently to her side, her body coiled tight in anticipation.

and then asked why I bite.
