"HI, BOSS! I'M BACK FROM VACATION!" Legally she couldn't 'leave' Riley's side for too long, bodyguard duties and all, but time moved differently in the feywilds! Two years there was, like, a day or two in boring human time. "I'm feeling refreshed, I brought you some souvenirs, and my mom says 'Hey'!" Suitcase dumped in a corner, she's fishing around inside for the aforementioned souvenirs. "Didya miss me? I missed you!"
It wasn’t without some degree of chagrin that the hellspawn regarded her changeling employee. Ms. Renault was always a mildly-fictitious ball of energy, but this was beyond the normal scope, and it took only the basic ability of listening to understand why. So she chose her words precisely, unwilling to tread on a good mood at the beginning of a work week only to suffer through Thalia’s bruised morale from a careless tone.
“Hi, Tal. It’s good t’see you too. You didn’t need t’get me anything -- especially anything cursed, in fact I insist that you don’t -- but i’s nice of you t’think of me. Now, I have no right t’tell you what t’do in your off-time, but you really shouldn’t go back there, T. Your mom’s no good for you.” And that was with some knowledge of the good Sire Renault; a man of no small criminal history. He at least seemed to genuinely care -- something that couldn’t be said for that Fair Freak that somehow spawned Thalia.
