When Boreal's head touched her palm, Sohalia could hardly contain her glee. Though scaly, the dragon's hide didn't feel like the young woman had expected. She ran a hand along Boreal's head before scratching her horns, trying to mimic what she'd seen Tal do. After a moment, she withdrew her hand.
Sohalia had never given much thought to the form of water she was surrounded by, having lived the vast majority of her life in the Grounds. The Greatwood didn't feel so different (in Sohalia's limited experience). She sighed contentedly, propping her head on her hand, wondering what it would be like to visit Halo - or anywhere else, for that matter.
The way Tal described the Oerwoud was not as glamorous as the books she'd read in the library. It was one thing to read about a jungle, and another to hear it described as "sticky." Even so, Sohalia perked up immediately at his description, her hand dropping to the table, her tea forgotten. [say]"Oh, I wish I could see them!"[/say] she exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration. [say]"Have you seen the Leap of Faith? It sounds terrifying!"[/say] she added, sounding anything but afraid.
