Sohalia
The women ran.
And ran.
And ran.
They ran until the bridge faded behind them, the calls of the delphinids no more than a whisper on the breeze. And when they stopped, chests heaving, Soh brushed the back of a hand across her forehead, realizing as she did so that she was still half-shifted. Shaking out her hands, she recalled the claws that extended there, and in just a moment she stood before Flora just like she always had before: fully human, and looking remarkably tame for a woman who had just been a tide jaguar.
She offered a shaky grin to her friend, reaching out to rub away the streak of color from Flora's arm. She wasn't sure what it was, but she knew better than to think about it too much. "I'm fine. Are you?" she demanded, her gaze sweeping over Flora with concern. She blew a strand of sweaty hair out of her face. "Oh, it's been a while ago," she said, a tinge of pride entering her voice. "I just don't get a chance to use it very much." That, and it was the creature that went most against her nature, so she sometimes found it uncomfortable - even if it was useful in situations like this.
