Thalea followed along with the two, cleaning her knife and beginning to put it away as they walked but when the ghoul uttered the dramatic sound she jumped with a soft cry, the clatter of metal ringing against the floor as her knife fell from her hands.

She too had forgotten about the charges but her mind threw the memory at her in the instant she heard the unexpected sound. When she discovered that the charges had been a lie she glared at Ricky, bending to scoop up her knife, wanting badly to stab him with it but resisting the urge though blood began to drip from her fingers as her hand tightened around the blade. "You lied to me?" She asked angrily, her voice barely controlled, "Did it ever occur to you to say as much?!" She snapped at the tall man.

It seemed she had a hot temper and was quick to anger. She knew she lost her temper often but never bothered to change it when she could remain calm when the situation demanded it completely and wholly.
