break me like a promise


Thalia wasn't wordy, but that was just fine by her. She didn't need empty words and stilted small talk, just someone to lean on. Someone to listen. If nothing else, Thalia was an excellent listener. Maybe the best one she'd ever come across. Her hawklike orange eyes were observant without being overbearing, but maybe that was just because Theo liked being watched by her. "The name of the pack is Winterfell. I wouldn't be so upset if they weren't supposed to be our allies," she spat. "I thought there was more honor between us than this... they sent a messenger, but only after I had already discovered their plans. How shady, right?" Theo grumbled. All the while she paced in a loose circle around Thalia, slowly but surely narrowing its scope. The movement was almost imperceptible but sure enough she was drawing closer and closer to the Abraxas, as if she was a moon orbiting a planet.

"Their ambassador swore they would return anything they're required to take on the band's behalf in spades, but I just don't know if I can trust them any more. I told her as much - words are just words. We'll see how their actions play out in the aftermath," she said, all in one length breath. Theo panted a bit at the end of the sentence before she sucked in another long breath to continue on her tirade. "It just feels foolish that they allowed themselves to get backed into a corner and now we're being punished for it... and I'm worried, because while I've been training..." Theory bit her lip and looked away. Would it be just as foolish to admit their weaknesses to Thalia? It wasn't like she could put the "Abraxas" cat back in its bag; it prowled between them, reminding Theory not to get too close. "I'm just worried." There was no point in telling her their warriors were woefully small in number by comparison to their general population. When it came down to it, they were in a very vulnerable position.

Finally her circling collapsed until Theory was winding her way around Thalia just a foot or so away. After completing another rotation, she sat down next to the smaller female and heaved another sigh. Here she was, blathering on and complaining, and she hadn't even asked her how she was. It was just so easy to stand by and let her listen. "How are you...? I'm surprised to see you nearby again. Is everything alright?"
"theory speaks!"
