Thalassa
I worry this is how I’m always gonna feel.
If Thal had been in a better mood, she might have cared to grill him more about Maea, but as it was, she wasn't. The idea of hearing about her frenemy and her maybe-boyfriend wasn't exactly high on the captain's list after losing her own... whatever Pierce had been. It made the slip into silence a welcome presence as they entered the store, bell chiming quietly above them.
It was like a beacon had been lit just for her, directing Thal immediately to a mask that sat on display, silver and whirling in its elegant design. Small black filigree entwined the curves like smoke and ash, delicate with hints of violence. She quietly secured the piece, not even hesitating in her choice when she tossed the clerk a bag of coins.
Stepping through the doorway that Liam held open, her tone landed with a lack of shared interest. "Don't hope too hard." Glancing up at him, she added, "If we do it right, no one should recognize us." And more importantly, no one should recognize her.
With her own items secured and her desire to be rid of Liam increasing again, Thal gave him a sharp flick of her hand as she turned down the street. "Good luck with your date." Little did he know how closely she'd be watching.

But nothing lasts. I know the deal.
