Aella was more laid back than her sisters. She didn't actually care if the Drudge was grateful to mother sea or if he prayed for her forgiveness, it wasn't his task after all. Atreus was merely a guardian appointed to accompany her and her baby sister 'Thea. But as an Adept, she was supposed to break the boy, she had to make him a true consort and prepare him for the life he had ahead with the Nereides an it wasn't going to be an easy task for him. Her sisters were harsh with men and treated them with little respect. And if he wasn't broken soon enough he'd suffer a more dreadful destiny.
The Adept watched silently as the Drudge stepped forward to make his humble prayer to the mother. his words seemed truthful, it would have to do. She dropped her eyes on him, not showing any emotion. The Drudge lifted his head when he was done, and Aella watched for a couple more seconds with a stern almost annoyed glare. She turned her head then to 'Thea, who had been watching the scene in silence a few steps behind her. "They shouldn't be far, sister," she barked in a peaceful tone, and turning to the boy again she said: "Psamathe can easily hear mother's call; we will find them soon..."
