What do you get when two ruthless assassins raise their daughter travelling through the wildest reaches of Caido? Take one look at Theea and you'll get a pretty good idea. Cheerful and tenacious in equal measure, and curious beyond all else, she began her journey on a mission to find those her mother once called family. And find them she did, soon rubbing elbows with demigods, leaders and even ghosts from the past. Her determination is resolute, her thirst for knowledge unmatched. We can't wait to see where her next adventure takes her!
Congratulations, Theea!

His words earn him an annoyed glare, but Thal's bloodlust is tempered enough to let her think more logically, and he sounds somewhat genuine. She certainly intends to take the leftovers either way. Finally convinced that he isn't going to out-eat her, she reluctantly lowers the kill from her lips. Little remains of the ramphire's face and neck, its vasculature sucked dry with the head hanging oddly by the exposed vertebrae. Sitting back on her heels, she slowly runs her tongue over her fangs to return them to their pristine white before using her thumb to collect the leftover blood from her chin, sucking it into her mouth to momentarily savor the relief it provides.
With her mind clear, she fully considers Danta. She honestly hasn't met many other Ancients. Maea had been the closest thing to a friend, and she would count Astaroth as an 'acquaintance' at this point. Otherwise, passing glimpses of a few others were about it. What does that say about her?
Pushing aside that particular thought, she tries to fit the man before her into the same categories she's experienced, but the shark print shorts make that very difficult. In comparison to Astaroth's tailored look and Maea's penchant for stoicism, Danta just doesn't fit the typical mold. Her eyes narrow curiously as Thal chooses to verbalize a tame observation, her voice flat, giving away little. "I don't usually see other Ancients in these parts."

Responding to her glare with a bright and fanged smile, while Thal chooses to clean herself off, Danta is more than content to lounge in his swim shorts, covered in scrapes, bruises, blood and viscera from both their fight and their feasting. "No? I do think most of us are in the Hollowed Grounds. It's where you can usually find me, anyway. I'm here on vacation." You know, if the shark print shorts aren't obvious enough.
Leaning back on one arm, he stifles a yawn behind his hand and seems happy enough to rest and catch his breath, though now they aren't scrapping and eating, the cool tunnels are rapidly losing their appeal, and he'll venture back out into the sunshine soon enough. "You live here, I take?" he asks, cocking his head to the side to take in her appearance properly.

Glancing again at his shorts, Thal nods her head. 'Vacation' seems to be the reason for most people being in Torchline this season. Why not be on a beach when it's hot out? It helps that it's so protected from Void now. It's definitely one of the safer options. "'Fighting over lunch' probably wasn't on your vacation itinerary." She wonders silently if he'll be interested in visiting again after receiving such a hospitable welcome.
Danta's relaxed posture encourages Thal to do more than shut down his question, especially now that her belly is full, eliminating the need to fight. She knows what he means by the question, but she still looks at the damp tunnel walls, an eyebrow raised to say 'Really? You think I live here?'. Her outfit may match the aesthetic, with all the black leather and sparkling silver weapons, but that doesn't mean she enjoys the depressing darkness. It almost makes her chuckle. Almost. Instead, she shakes her head, immediately making her wince and her dark hair to stick to the blood on her forehead. "Not exactly, but I do spend a lot of time here." Torchline, that is.

"It certainly wasn't. I'm definitely not complaining, though. Dinner and a show and all that." On the contrary, the chaos and violence of his initial meeting with Thal has only endeared Torchline to him further (if his broad smile is any indication, anyway). And as she glances around at the dank tunnels, unimpressed, he can't help the laugh that rumbles out of his chest. "Not here," he clarifies, though he's sure she's aware. "But point taken. What say we get the fuck out of here before it floods?"
He's seen it happen before, from the ebb and flow of the tides, and whilst he's confident that the tunnels won't cause them any problems for some time, Danta would still prefer to have the sun on his back again. So saying, he rolls to his feet and stretches his arms above his head, back crackling delightfully, before he gestures for her to go ahead. Unless of course she'd prefer not to put her back to him, in which case, Danta will certainly be happy to take the lead.

Danta may be feeling warm and cozy towards his experience with Torchline, but Thal has to wonder about his impression of her thus far. Supposedly stealing his kill, fighting him, getting pummeled, and practically challenging him to an eating competition. It definitely says something about him as he easily laughs at her joking implication. It's surprising, considering they were trying to kill each other only moments before. She has to hide a smirk at his infectiously lax attitude. It again reminds her that maybe she doesn't know her own kind as well as she thinks. Maybe this is an opportunity to learn.
Nodding her head (gently this time), Thal gathers the ramphire's carcass in her arms before gesturing for Danta to take the lead. Not only is she reluctant to show him her back, but the weight of the kill would make her an even easier target, and she doesn't trust Danta as far as she can throw his lyvern shift (which has already been proven). It makes her think that she definitely needs to work more on fighting large shifts. So as she follows the bare-chested man out of the tunnels, Thal uses the time to consider better strategies for next time. Ones that don't involve the splitting headache that sharpens in the emerging sunlight. Squinting her eyes, she places a free hand to her forehead. "Remind me to smash your head next time I see you."

If Thal wants to expand her horizons and get better acquainted with some of the other Ancients, Danta will be more than happy to give her a tour of the Hollowed Grounds should she ever come lurking around his region. For now, though, it's with a cheeky grin over his shoulder at her that he does indeed take the lead, quite enjoying the tang of blood that laces through the air in their wake thanks to the ramphire carcass she's bringing with her.
"Are you sure that a reminder will be necessary?" he asks with a wicked laugh, clambering over rock and through shallow water until they emerge into the bright, hot sunlight. Humming a sound of content to feel it soak into his skin, Danta turns to regard Thal properly one last time. "Well, it's been an adventure. I'll see you around," he says, tipping her a wink for good measure before he's off once more, picking his way back across to the beach with a flick of his tail.
