Thalya Balworth (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=90729)<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w172/minarou/d51733c7-212f-4bfc-ad58-a6d67e51b00c.jpg)</div><br/>Thalya looked hurt at Alyssa’s disdain; her words struck her like daggers to her heart as if the ship captain did it herself.  She didn’t mean to ridicule her, well maybe she did, but it was meant to lighten the mood from Al Rheyal’s hard logic, which rang with truth.<br/><br/>“I’m so sorry Alyssa.  I don’t mean to overstep my bounds, much less make fun of your suggestion…” She was losing it.  Her, who always believed in herself, but it seems her being a hermit for so long has left her socially out of touch with the world and now this may be the end result.<br/><br/>She turns to Norton who had remained silent through the women’s banter.  “Nephew, go talk some sense into her.”<br/><br/>
