Sohalia
It was easier to fade back into the familiar territory of friendship than to explore the fluttery feelings in her chest that she couldn't quite name - or, rather, that she wasn't brave enough to examine. "I'm so excited," she gushed. "Once we do this, we won't have to wait for visits anymore to be able to talk!" The prospect was an exciting one; it was already absurd how frequently they visited each other or wrote each other, and the idea of being able to just... talk to each other, at any time of any day, was one that warmed her heart. She just didn't want to examine the type of warmth at the moment, lest she loose all sense and do or say something she'd regret. "We can definitely go as soon as we get the earrings," she agreed. "The sooner the better!"
Mona brought their food - Jude's rather questionable breakfast, in Soh's opinion, and the much more delicious option of fruit-covered waffles. Today's fruits were strawberries and blueberries, which gave a little tartness to the sweetness of the waffles. She still couldn't understand why Jude didn't like sweets - sometimes she suspected that he passed on them just so that she could have more - but that was neither here nor there. "Thanks!" she called after Mona before beginning to eat.
They ate their breakfast and chattered on like normal, and slowly, the tension of the jeweler's began to fade away. It didn't take long for them to finish their food, pay, and exit the restaurant. Soh looped her arm companionably through Jude's (ignoring the butterflies in her stomach that resulted) and tugged him along with her toward the jeweler's. "Oh, I hope they're ready!"
