Re: Of course, when I say 'we', I mean 'you'.
"There is no need for thanks," Zap swore. Still beaming. Still teary. Oh, thank god. She held Thea back when the blond hugged her and might've squeezed her to death if there hadn't been a break for more questions. Yeah... she had answers.
"I'm so happy that you're happy." After all, there was always the chance Thea could've shunned the gift and all that came with it. Some people just weren't interested in all the extra responsibility. Eva knew that Thea was hardly one to shirk duty or a challenge, though. And Thea knew a lot about the queen, in return. "Yes," Zap was an open book to the fairer one, she acknowledged with a smirk.
Right, right, answers. "I intend to ask Loki." Pause. "He has a vast knowledge of that realm and a keen talent for misdirection. I feel like he can camouflage and protect you both, as well as lead you to the place of the basin." She tried a smile. "I won't let you go alone, and as much as I disagree with his behaviors, he's the best man for the job - but," she held out her hand to Thea, "I'll send Minor along, too. You'll have a guide, a fierce protector, and your clever, healing hands to perform the task." She squeezed one of said healing hands and then released her almost-healing-goddess. "If I don't feel like Loki's up to snuff after I talk to him, I'll find a replacement that's just as suited."
