[Training] your opal eyes

All this time I didn't know
You were breakin' down

Sohalia jumped at the sound of a familiar voice in her head. She was instantly ashamed of her outburst; at least she wasn't human, where the blush that would be on her cheeks would give away her embarrassment. Oh, Sah! she said, remembering the kind man who she'd played trivia with not so very long ago. She tried to remember if she'd known he could shift, too, and came up blank. I'm so sorry, she added. I didn't mean to interrupt you.

Still a bit surprised to have company and perhaps hoping to brush her outburst under the metaphorical rug, Soh said, I'm fine. Of course, her lashing tail, the sure sign of a frustrated feline, gave her away. I was just trying to hunt, but it turns out I'm abysmally bad at it. She went for an aloof tone that said she didn't really care and failed. Then she sighed. A bit pitiful, for a jaguar, isn't it? I can't even catch a mouse.

I'd fall to pieces on the floor
If you weren't around
