Sohalia
That Soh could have done anything to save anyone's life brought a wry smile to her face; she imagined that he was just saying that, over-exagerating to make her feel better. For her part, the experience had been simultaneously awkward and fun, particularly when they had swam down into the caverns to see the giant fish. So when Tal turned on his scowl, Soh hid a smile behind her hand and followed him, unbothered by his sudden shift to grumpiness.
"Oh, you found an apprentice? That's wonderful!" she said. She'd known he was looking, but not that he'd managed to find someone. The news of a party in Torchline intrigued her, as well, given how much she frequented the beaches to see Jude. "What kind of party?" she asked curiously, wondering if it was something she'd have heard about. Probably not, given that she was not what one might call a "party person," but you never know.
When talk turned to her, she focused on her mapmaking, that being the safest topic of discussion. "Business is going well!" she gushed. "I've been traveling a lot recently, making new maps. Things have really picked up at the shop, too!" She didn't say that traveling was her way of avoiding her emotions, but that seemed neither here nor there to the young woman.
