\\ Get my pretty name out of your mouth \\
It was obvious that Maea was wholly unprepared for the drama Thal was about to unleash on her, and for some illogical reason, that just pissed her off more. The pale Ancient barely had the words out of her mouth before the captain was storming in. She didn't look at the cozy room, at how it had been made into a 'home' in such a short amount of time. No, she didn't let herself or her eyes touch anything as she stood in the middle of the room, clinging to her fury alone.
"I spoke with Asta." Her voice was flat but lined with the hint of seething anger that bit at her tongue. Spinning on her heels, she finally leveled her gaze on Maea, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "You have some explaining to do." It was a mercy that she would only give Maea once, a chance to revise her previous story, to confess what she'd so conveniently left out, to prove that Thal hadn't been wrong to trust her again. Because as much as she was angry for Asta, she was frustrated with herself for letting Maea think she was a child who couldn't handle the unabridged truth, that she hadn't thought her enough of a friend - or respected her enough - to tell her. And for some ungodly reason, that hurt, making her angrier, and repeating the vicious cycle of the last few days.
