fly away birdie

(note to self: set pre-Eligos talk)

Thalia's focus had shifted wildly away from Aerie since her little talk with Theory, and though soon she needed to sit and think properly about her future, in the meantime she knew she needed to connect with the members of Aerie she hadn't spent much time with. Would it be possibly for her to leave Aerie, in any sense? Her loyalty would always remain here, to her family and to Eligos and above all else, to the Fallen God, but she needed to make sure everyone else knew that. She wouldn't allow them to doubt her loyalty to them.

Even the opinions of the youngest ones mattered. They were the future of the Abraxas; they would likely live on long after she did and in her place they would need to forge a path for their family to achieve true greatness, if it didn't happen in her lifetime. That was what crossed her mind when she stumbled across the scent of one of the youngest Abraxas, and warily she followed it. Only when she saw a duck frantically fleeing did his position become immediately obvious, and Thalia redirected her path toward him. Thalia wasn't terribly skilled at interacting with kids, and she didn't know the first thing about talking to Asmodeus, but she wasn't opposed to trying. "Chasing ducks?" She called out finally when she got within earshot of him, tilting her head slightly.
