Regardless of if the misunderstanding had been hers or Asta's, it only slightly affected her opinion, anger still coiling in her chest as she spoke. "Maea. Whether you asked him to kill you or just verbally remind you of your own stupid morals, you still implied that you would never want to be like him, like it was the worst outcome imaginable. And to ask it of him? How do you think that's supposed to make him feel?!" How was he supposed to feel comfortable with his own actions when he was supposed to keep someone 'accountable' for the same thing? Like guiltily indulging in sweets when helping a friend stay consistent with their diet. It made what should be something enjoyable taste disgusting, like acid or ash on their tongue, bloating with every bite.
At least Maea seemed to understand her error in asking to die, and Thal let that issue drop, crossing her arms again as the topic shifted to the moral and political quandaries. Her eyes narrowed at what could possibly make it such an issue, her humor empty. "If you start talking about the government punishing more people to fuel their bloodlust, I'm going to laugh." Because it was an absurd idea that wouldn't go unnoticed, and Thal was fairly certain there were far easier ways to corrupt a government.
