Thalia frowned at Luddita's sudden change of topic. Maybe she had a point, but was now the time? In any case, she said nothing on that subject.

She wasn't utterly silent, however, saying "Well? Shall we get going, then? We have a majority, and people are dying while we sit here." With that, she got up and left the building, following Danny outside. Once there, she spoke to him as well. "Looks like we're headed to the dwarf quarter. Not that I'd leave us now, but I still think it's the wrong choice. Say... ten gold that I'll kill more Xill than you?"

Despite her apparently carefree attitude, Thalia was worried for her half-siblings, Isla and Erilin. She'd told them to evacuate as soon as possible, but she also knew that either would leap to the aid of anyone who needed it at a moment's notice, and she was afraid that it would get them killed. Still, both could handle themselves in a fight, particularly Erilin, so her doubts were probably groundless. Not that this made it any easier.
