Soleil
some years of our life are meant for growing
It's always a delight when she manages to make him laugh. He's never uptight, but it's clear his upbringing was hilariously more formal than Soleil's own, and getting him to loosen up is a skill Soleil is eager to perfect. Turning her head toward him to make another quip, she's surprised to see his face go unexpectedly red; there's the desire to ask what's wrong, but then her tether jerks sharply and draws her attention back with a little yelp, the moment forgotten.
Luckily the kites were already halfway down when Edmund dropped his spool, so it's much faster to wrestle them down the second time. Laughing as she begins winding the spools back up - though the strings are now helplessly muddied from laying on the lakeshore - Soleil shakes her head helplessly. "Not me. Maybe it's a sales tactic? We'd have to keep buying more kite kits in order to keep flying them." Though that kind of persistence seems rather typical for Grounders, Soleil can't imagine doing the same. "Maybe that's why they only sell kits and not kites," she sing-songs with a mischievous smile and a wink, pleased by both the pun and the truth of the matter.
