Sohalia
Before Sohalia had a chance to do or say much of anything, Vesper shifted, and she suddenly found herself with an arm on either side of her, effectively caging her against the bar. She looked up at Vesper with round eyes, but her gaze quickly flitted to Koa, something perhaps a little panicked and beseeching there. If it wasn’t for the fact that she’d told Koa she’d wait for him, maybe she’d have liked the attention - after all, Vesper was attractive, and he’d been kind to her when they’d met before. She could see herself getting to know him better.
Except there was Koa, who had sort of rejected her, but she was still hung up on him. And she didn’t want him to get the wrong idea.
But Vesper leaned in enough for his breath to ghost across her cheek, and she immediately reddened, goosebumps raising on her arms at the proximity. Then, blessedly,Theea broke in, and Soh turned to her newest friend, a smile on her lips even as her heart raced in her chest. She was about to decline a shot - last time she’d done shots with Flora, she’d ended up very drunk - but Vesper cut in again, and she glanced up at him with a raised brow. ”She is right here,” she quipped. ”But how could I say no to sunshine in a glass?”
After all, it was just one shot. What was the harm?
Besides, Theea shouldn’t have to take them alone - not that they were in danger of that, really, but in Soh’s mind, the girl should have someone she knew to take shots with. So the Luminary picked up the shot glass and toasted Theea - then downed the drink. It was everything that Vesper had promised it would be, and Soh sat the shot glass down on the counter to smile up at him. ”Bright and sweet,” she agreed. ”Just like Nova.”
Then she turned her gaze to Koa. She might have a whole lot of complicated emotions where he was concerned - and she desperately needed to talk to him - but for now, there was little she could do about any of that. Instead, she could play bartender. ”Waters coming right up,” she agreed. This, at least, was something she could do. She set to work grabbing some glasses and filling them with water, setting them out along the bar, within reach for anyone who might want to grab one. She suspected that they might go to waste, but it was something to keep her busy - and out of Vesper’s arms.
