Thalia wasn't quite show if she felt like a adult or not, now. Losing her parents, even if they weren't gone in the same way Theory had mentioned her mother was gone, had forced her to grow up a bit. But she'd never really had much of a childhood - maybe she'd romped around with her siblings occasionally, but the time she'd spent on the island for the festival, meeting Theory and quarreling with her, was probably about all she had for true childhood memories. She'd always been serious and dutiful, and she wondered now if she somehow had missed out. Not that it mattered now, when everything had changed and most of her mental energy was spent on trying to figure out what she was supposed to do next. Was Theory somehow part of the bigger plan? Somehow she'd run into her again, and now here they were, sitting in much closer proximity than she could've expected. The discomfort of it didn't seem to be fading, but likewise she wasn't pulling away, her posture stiff as she remained right where she was sitting, even as Theory leaned into her and pressed her chin against the top of her head. The thought that maybe she was a steady anchor for the other woman was oddly comforting, even if she felt anything but stable herself... She released a sigh as well. Even if Pyrrhic wasn't making all the right choices, she couldn't just up and leave either. Figuring out what direction the Empire needed to shift toward was a priority, but it might not be something that happened overnight. "Perhaps," she breathed, appreciating Theory's advice even if deep down she'd already known that was exactly what she needed to do. "I just hate the... uncertainty." Thalia would give almost anything to be told, right here on the spot, what precisely she needed to do. Whether staying with Risen was the right choice, or.. something else. Slowly, almost begrudgingly, she shifted so she was leaning more heavily against Theory, like the physical touch was as much her idea as it was Theory's. Her next question made a pit in her stomach suddenly form, taking her breath away for a moment. Where would she want to go, if she could run away with Theory? "I haven't seen enough of the world to know. But I liked the island, when we visited," she admitted, letting some of the tension fall from her voice. She was tired, perhaps more tired than a girl her age should be, and keeping up the facade of being tight-laced and cold was even more exhausting.. and somehow Theory, pressed against her, helped relieve some of that innate tension within her. "Somewhere secluded, untouched by mortals." The words left her mouth before she could stop herself, though it didn't seem like she even registered that what she said might not make sense to Theory at all. Somewhere away from everything, with just Theory for company... her stomach fluttered at the thought. "What about you?" |
