Thane's Dilemma

Narrowing his eyes, Thane was silent. Alice's condition was far from normal.

Even for someone like him, who barely knew her could tell. This bloodlust, this hunger, this drive for violence.

'Does Allura know? And if she does, what did she say about it? Hmm… This is a little concerning. I haven't heard of a condition like this before. Unless it's possession? I doubt it. There were no signs of such when I found her.'

Tapping his finger for a moment, he made up his mind.

'Seems like I'll have to investigate the Zenia family a little more and find out what they did with the lass while they had her locked up. Might clear up my questions of why her cell was so heavily guarded.'

But for now, he will watch how the fight unfolded. If needed, he will intervene.
