not looking for a dowry, i promise

They'd chosen to travel along the coastline, taking the journey at a good pace. Although there was time for leisure built into the journey (she was nothing if not annoyingly type A) they had made stellar time. Theory was overly pleased with the route she had plotted. She couldn't help herself from looking over her shoulder at Thalia every chance she got, admiring her almost as much as she admired the scenery. This was their first time travelling together for a meaningful amount of time. They hunted as they went and made a bit of a game of it. She was more experienced when it came to taking down marine life, fish especially. The pair ate well and Theory certainly enjoyed their journey, but she still looked to Thalia for reassurance often. Do you like this? Are you having fun? She wanted so badly to be praised it felt nearly embarrassing. "We should be closing in on your lands soon, right?" Theo asked, hoping that she was right. She'd eagerly listened to stories about the Abraxas along the way, trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible. The few nights they had spent together along the shoreline had been filled with quiet conversations about god. Theory wasn't a convert but she appreciated the lore for what she thought it was - a very good story.
