As Thalia relaxed into her body she felt her own inner tension slowly begin to unwind itself. Like a complicated knot, the past few months had only served to further tighten and confused the threads of her life. Sitting here next to her was a welcome change of pace, even if Theory knew it couldn't last. Their meeting would be brief. Maybe one day they could spend more than a few passing hours together, but she knew both of their homes called and pulled them to nearly opposite sides of the continent. How strange that they'd met. How strange she made her feel.

Theory nodded against Thalia's skull, creating a pleasant friction on the top of her head. It was almost a nuzzle, if you could call it that. "Uncertainty is frustrating. It's all we've both been faced with these past few months. After the volcano, well... I just keep waiting for the other paw to drop. I can't shake the feeling that something else is coming," she confessed. The feeling wasn't rooted in any true reality - she hadn't observed any of the other scenarios that had predated (and predicted) the peak's eruption. Woodland creatures, although quieter than they used to be - but maybe that was her imagination - were going about their daily business as usual. No one was fleeing. They had reached an uneasy peace in the world but all Theo felt was the unease of it all. Being thrust into her leadership position didn't help things; her own lack of confidence made it feel like the pack was constantly teetering on the edge of disaster. In reality, things were fine. Just fine.

Untouched by mortals. In their time together Theory had almost forgotten that Thalia was an Abraxas. She hailed from the pack that Shaye had warned her about. When she was younger she'd thought it was funny, a bunch of god touched fools that lived far enough away that it was almost like a fairytale. Now that she was pressed this close to a true believer it was more difficult to ignore. "I must be a god then, because I've made your wish come true," she said, her voice colored with a soft, unspoken laugh. Theo hoped Thalia would take her joke well. It would be a good way to gauge the situation. "Abaven has claimed the islands from the festival. You can visit me there whenever you'd like... even if it's been touched up all over the place by the mortals I call family." Would they be able to meet half way? Theo hoped so. If she lost Thalia as a friend she'd miss her sorely, but religion and personal beliefs weren't exactly an easy river to ford. Depending on Thalia's reaction they could wind up on opposite sides of a great divide with little hope of crossing to the other's side.
