this dagger in me

Sohalia

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

Soh took the second shot, and this time, she managed not to choke on it as it burned its way down her throat. She wasn't sure if that was a good sign or not, but she chose to believe that she was getting better at this whole drinking to forget thing and ran with it. With Flora tucked comfortably against her side, and her mind buzzing pleasantly, it was easy to sink into the fuzzy distance that she'd been afforded. Somehow it made things more manageable, she thought - as though she were watching her life play out from somewhere far away, rather than living through it in the moment.

"Yes!" she cried when Flora suggested Torchline; but then she frowned. "Or, well, I just have oneeee thing I have to take care of in the Greatwood." There was something, right? Something important. "But after that, I'm all yours!" Oh, right, the rose. She had to get the rose. "And we'll be stupidly pretty and your party will be phene-phone-phenomenal." Soh made a face, clearly frustrated that her tongue was no longer cooperating with her brain. "And we won't think about stupid boys at all. Are girls as dumb as boys?" she wondered suddenly, tilting her head to look at Flora and immediately regretting the way the room tilted with it. "I feel like we're better, right?"

Don't believe anything you say anymore
In the morn, in the morning
