Set Me Up
Thalia

Being overly talkative wasn't something Thalia was used to, but when it came to things important to her - her family, her faith, and her God - she was hardly shy. Only those who seemed receptive to what she had to say would have the liberty of hearing her words so openly; and Kefka clearly seemed interested. "Have you?" She asked, truly curious, raising a slight eyebrow as she glanced toward him. She knew little of Kefka's upbringing, but greatness surely flowed through his veins at least somewhat, due to his Abraxas lineage. The belief that she and her kin were greater was not something she shared often, but she believed deeply in it. Even those who recognized their greatness could achieve a higher place in the eyes of the Fallen God, such as her mother surely had.
Regardless of what Kefka thought of her story she was glad to have shared it with him. He was right that she too should be heading back home before the sun fully set, but his question was a thoughtful one. How exactly would they prove their greatness to the world? Her ancestors had thought differently than Eligos currently did. Ruling with an iron fist, cruelly and mercilessly had clearly not done the Abraxas any favors.
"His word is difficult to interpret. As far as the current generation of Abraxas..." She knew her father had wanted to simply bring forth children into the world. That had been his duty. "I think we intend to simply show our greatness through action. Show the wolves of Boreas that they need us, the Abraxas. Demonstrate we will do the deeds they fear. That they should turn to us in times of need, and we will not fail them. Let them need us, and fear a time when we cannot aid them." The finer details were more difficult to describe, but Thalia shrugged. How that would work out in the present was more difficult to imagine. "Roaming around committing needless acts of savagery hasn't earned us a good reputation in the past. We're trying to correct that. Make Abraxas a name to be respected as much as it is feared." Whether Kefka agreed or not mattered little to her. They'd only met twice now - he was not a member of Aerie, and though he was blood she still had yet to really form an opinion on him. "You're right, I ought to be going though. I have a feeling we'll meet again soon," she offered with a swift dip of her muzzle, before turning and heading back home. Let him dwell on her story for awhile, and see what sense he made of it.
