It wasn't as if Thea didn't feel pain right now, she felt it, and a lot of it, and that was the reason she was determined to have a smile on her face. Because everything would be okay if you smiled.

She slowly made her way a bit closer, just a few steps, since she was exhausted. Teleporting here had taken a lot out of her, and she probably wouldn't be walking easily to the Observatory.

Maybe she should've been out and about, chasing butterflies and enjoying the flowers had she been raised normally. Not with somebody unfit to be a mother,  who had chosen to pass on to her child her own view of the world, and ended up dying because Thea took it far too seriously, as some young children do.

So was that the fate Thea was destined to someday? To die alone in her attempts?

At Carolina's words, she tilted her head. "I... don't?" Normally, she would brush something like this off immediately, but the words stuck in her mind, like some unwanted pest that refused to die. Thea's mind almost wandered, as if to try and get rid of the thought before she spoke, "Uh, he looked kinda like you. But a bit smaller, and was yellow-ish."
