Sohalia
Kaisel's rebuke took Sohalia by surprise, and she glanced at him with raised brows as he insisted that she was more than she gave herself credit for. With a sigh, she sank down into the sand, stretching her arms above her head as she joined him in gazing up at the night sky. It wasn't the first time someone had voiced such sentiments to her, but it was the first that it had come from someone who wasn't a dear friend. She liked Kai, but she didn't know him well - and nor did he know her. He had nothing to gain from lying to her, or boosting her nonexistent ego... which meant that he had to be sincere. And that was touching to the Luminary, who turned her head to regard him gratefully, even if it meant getting sand in her hair.
"Thanks, Kai," she said softly, then returned to stargazing. "That's... really sweet of you." She wasn't sure she'd ever been called fierce before, and she wondered what she'd done to deserve it. Still, he was right about one thing: the Family couldn't remain. "I keep trying to think of ways to fight back," she admitted softly. "One day, something will stick, and we'll win." She had to believe that, because the alternative was too depressing to even consider.
