Thalassa
Said you won't forget my name
On her hands and knees, Thal's hair shifted like an inky curtain across her face, hiding the grimace of exhaustion that suddenly hit her. She sucked in a deep breath, another fit of coughing capturing her lungs. Through the squint of her eyes, she noticed something golden, and radiating a warmth that had nothing to do with the fire. Her fingers closed around the stone, confusion swirling in the aftermath of expended effort. "The hell is this?"
The whisper was cut off by the crunch of approaching footsteps.
Her eyes rose, assessing the source with disguised shock, tensing as she prepared for a fight. Each step closer was an alarm bell, her thoughts twisting into shame and deserved punishments. But Liam didn't lunge or shout or capitalize on her weakened state, choosing instead to plop down beside her in the dirt.
Thal watched with obvious suspicion, slowly shifting her weight to sit back on her heels. "Me too." Although she was more surprised by the predicament she found herself in. She fell into silence, staring at the blackened earth of the forest, uncertain what to say to Liam, what he expected her to say.
Thal takes the Tanau offering.
