once in twenty lifetimes

Late nights, all entwined
Made a promise to never say goodbye

Soh wasn't much of a fisherwoman, but she was determined to see her quest through all the same, and so as Tal regaled her with the tale of cleansing the Greatwood, the Luminary kept her eyes on the bobber that floated atop the water. It was disappointingly still, though it moved along with the waves, tricking her once or twice into thinking a fish might be grabbing ahold of the bait floating below. "So now you've seen - all of the heralds, right? And Mort and Rae, and the Mathair?" she said, her voice filled with awe. Tal had certainly been fortunate!

Soh glanced over at Tal in time to see his grin go a little lopsided, then looked back at her rod, wrinkling her nose as she considered. "I don't like hunting," she said. "Which is ironic, given that both of my shifts are predators. Sometimes the instinct is there, but I never want to hurt anything, so I just... ignore it, I suppose." She shrugged, her line going taut with the motion. "I just want to catch a whisper fish and release it, without killing it. That would be hard to do with talons."

I replay it in the back of my mind
Over and over again
