Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Are you death or paradise?
His answer is everything she wants - her smile looking nearly as sharp without the need for extra fangs. She lets her hands hover over her daggers as her body shifts into something more lethal, the predatory instincts softening her steps and giving her limbs a deadly grace. "Good. Let's -"
A sound interrupts her, the rustle of grass distinct enough to her ears to indicate a threat. Her head whips to find the source, watching as a tumbling shape of twisting purple and black limbs races towards them. Chuckling, she drops to a crouch, poised for action. "Must be."
Thal's faced more than enough Void River Stars to recognize the creature, but unlike before, she doesn't feel the immediate call to violence. She puzzles over it for a critical second, trying to will her heart to race, her blood to sing with destruction, her body to move against the threat; yet when she looks at the purple tendrils that reach for Asta, she feels only a sense of protectiveness. It's on that alone that she finally acts.
Her dagger flies from her hand, striking the dirt in front of the first tentacle - the one reaching for Asta's feet. It's close enough to look like she might have been trying to hit it, but she lets it act as a warning; the sharp physical barrier and flaring fire cause the Void River Star to garble a hiss, twisting around to attack from a different angle.

Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die
