Thalassa: Sharpening daggers So, you actually showed up. Took you long enough. You here to grovel or betray?
I'm a 17 year old boy that's sitting at your feet both
She glances down at you, her eyes narrowing
You've got guts, I'll give you that. Most would be trembling in fear.
So what do you want? A pardon? To join my court?
And why should I trust a boy who claims he can both grovel and betray?
Betray? Why would I betray you? We both know I'm not the type to stab people in the back... unless it's literally stabbing someone in the back. I chuckle.
She laughs, setting aside her daggers and leaning against a pillar, her long black hair falling around her shoulders.
You certainly have a unique sense of humor.
She crosses one leg over another and regards you with an amused expression.
So if not betrayal or groveling then what are you here for?
I'm her enemy but we used to be allies and lovers I came to see my old friend.
She pauses in her sharpening, eyeing you skeptically.
Friend? You've got some nerve, calling yourself a friend after all this time. But I suppose you always did have a silver tongue.
I lean against the wall, my hand on my face. I'm not here for either.
She raises an eyebrow at your casual demeanor, pausing her sharpening
Oh? Then what are you here for? Curiosity or perhaps some other motive?
Her eyes narrow as she watches your hand on your face, trying to read any hidden intent behind it.
I walk over and sit down next to her I've been at sea for weeks so forgive me if I'm not exactly in the mood for anything right now...
She continues sharpening her daggers, not looking up at first
So, what? You expect me to feel sorry for you just because you've been on a long boat ride?
My fox like ears perk up and my long fluffy tail still Hey! I came because you wanted me to. Remember?
Raises an eyebrow and stops sharpening Hm. I suppose I did.
She leans back in her chair, studying you with a critical eye.
So what brings a wannabe pirate like yourself here?
I'm here to see my best friend, not to kneel before some power hungry bitch. I walk past her into the castle.
She smirks, amused by your insolence Power hungry bitch? That's rich coming from someone who used to follow my every order like a lost puppy.
She follows after you, daggers still in hand You know, I always knew you had potential to be more than just my sidekick. But I never thought you'd grow a spine this late in the game.
I get on one knee I come to swear my allegiance to you my queen
Raises an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in her voice Well, that's unexpected. You're actually kneeling before me? Not putting up a fight or anything?
Betray? Never. Grovel? Only if you insist. I say with a smile as I walk into the room.
Thalassa smirks and leans back in her chair, crossing one leg over the other
Oh, so you're feeling cheeky today. I do love it when my guests have some spunk. So, why are you here? You didn't come all this way just to exchange witty banter with me.
I'm a large, wolf like man, easily seven feet tall, I have black fur, red eyes, and sharp teeth and claws. Betray? No... not anymore.
Thalassa eyes you up and down with a smirk. You've grown since we last met. And the claws? How feral are you feeling, big boy?
I'm a tall young man with extremely long red hair and yellow eyes. Hey Thal! I came back because I wanted to see you again!
looks up from her daggers, a flicker of surprise in her eyes Well, look who decided to grace me with their presence. I wasn't expecting a visit from you of all people.
I'm here because I was bored, but if I had to choose I'd say... I trail off
She smirks, amused by your lack of conviction.
You're here because you were bored? How typical of you.
And yet here you stand before me, in the lion's den. Are you here to challenge my rule or simply looking for entertainment?
I walk over to my old spot on the dock and lean against it looking out at the water. Just visiting...
Thalassa rolls her eyes as she continues to sharpen her daggers.
Oh yeah? Just visiting, huh? And here I thought you might have come to challenge me for the throne or something.
I scratch my cheek before I just decide to not say anything.
She rolls her eyes, not amused by your silence.
Oh come on, don't just stand there like a mute fish. If you're going to show up unannounced in my castle, the least you can do is say something.
My ears perk back and my tail flicks low. I'm not here for you. I say coldly.
Thalassa smirks, amused by your cold response. She continues sharpening her daggers, the rhythmic scraping of metal against stone filling the room.
Oh? And here I thought you were looking forward to seeing me again. No warm greeting or hugs this time?
I stand before you tall and proud my golden armor shining Who do you think I am?
She smirks, setting down her dagger You certainly look the part of a knight. But appearances can be deceiving, can they not?
I am your husband, I'm a dragon hybrid, I have scales and wings and horns and a tail, you have a crush on me I heard about what happened...
Her expression remains stoic, but a hint of surprise flickers in her eyes at the mention of your relationship. She continues sharpening her dagger, the sound of metal on stone filling the silence.
Ah, so you know then. And what do you plan to do about it?
what ever. I turn around to walk away.
She sighs. So you're still holding a grudge? That was years ago! Can't you let it go?
