Sohalia

Don't try to wake me up
Even if the sun really does come out tomorrow

Soh was used to people giving her strange looks when she introduced her title, but never had she met someone who was wiling to voice their doubts to her face. Actually, that wasn't true - one girl, who she had later identified as Noe Carpenter, had voiced her objection to the Luminary quite publicly, but given that Soh had broken her brother's heart, she could hardly be surprised at the girl's outburst.

In any case, Delphia's words took her by surprise, and she blinked twice, momentarily stunned into silence. It sounded like an insult, but the tone was wrong - almost like it was a confused observation, which, Soh supposed, it very well might be. Still, Soh spoke cautiously, unsure if she was being ridiculed or not. "I was the only candidate to come forward," she explained. "I did try to find someone else, and then I sought a co-leader, but..." She shrugged. "I do have a council of advisors. It seems to be working well so far."

Don't believe anything you say anymore
