[SE] burned us down

Sohalia

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

A male voice interrupted Soh's thoughts, making her jump, and she sprang to her feet, wrapping her arms around herself defensively. The man who approached was taller and older than her, and she found herself immediately anxious. After all, she hadn't had the best experiences with strange men - of note, her last interaction with a stranger had started a cascade of events that had led to her disappearing into the Wilds for months on end, almost dying in the process.

But even as fear and adrenaline coursed through her, she found herself indignant. Friend or foe? Well, he was a stranger, so they certainly weren't friends! But... unless he was planning to attack her, she wasn't exactly a foe, either. So she took a breath, swallowing down her panic, and squeaked, "Friend?" in an entirely non-threatening kind of way that would - hopefully - reassure the stranger, even if he decided she could be lying.

Then, drawing upon some inner strength that must have been born of her time as the Heart of Stormbreak, she pointed at the Void River Stars distastefully. "Those are foes, though. I was going to have my griffin burn them, but I don't want to touch them to get them out of the water." She glanced darkly at the Void creatures, a scowl on her pretty face. Then, smoothing her expression, she regarded the stranger. "My name is Sohalia. What's yours?"
