Aithne
I can feel the flames on my skin
There is, it seems, nothing that Aithne can do to impress Thalassa. Not that that had been the goal, precisely - she'd simply hoped for something to protect her from the captain's wrath. As she puts space between the tree trunk where the dagger is embedded and herself, lunging towards Thalassa without really intending to to more than brush the captain aside, she hits nothing but air. Unsurprising, given that her heart hadn't really been in the attempted hit.
Another flash of lightning turns the scene an eerie purple, and in the split second brightness, Aithne sees the dagger flying towards her once more, black against the momentary light of the sky. She darts to one side, twirling away from the blade, but this time, she's too slow to avoid it entirely. A score of obsidian against her shoulder leaves her bleeding lava, and she huffs a disappointed sound before putting the bright flash of pain out of her mind.
Then she's moving again. Clearly sitting still or half-assing her attacks isn't going to gain her any respect, endear Thalassa to her, or earn leniency - so she might as well go all out. Circling the other Ancient, she lunges again, this time aiming low, fangs flashing as she tries to bite at Thalassa's ankles.
