Sohalia
When Soh had arranged her hair as well as she could, she started fiddling with her clothes, straightening this here and tucking that there. Then she moved on to her jewelry, fidgeting with her necklace until it hung just so and twisting a ring around her finger over and over again. She was nervous, she realized - perhaps a little shy, and a little embarrassed, and a little anxious, but mostly she was just... worried. That somehow, after all this, there was still some way for her to break the friendship between she and the Doubletake by oversharing.
She needn't have worried; Flora was just as understanding as ever, even if she was surprised. "I mean, we were interrupted," Soh said, maybe a smidge defensively, as though there was something wrong with not actually having sex. "And I thought about inviting him in when he walked me home, but..." But she hadn't wanted to ruin the evening by extending it, not when everything had seemed to go so well.
And if she was honest, she wasn't exactly sure what she felt. She didn't regret what she and Koa had done, but she wanted... more. Physically, yes, but also emotionally. She dropped her hands to her sides, a strange look on her face, like she was trying and failing to work through her emotions. "Maybe 'regret' is too strong a word," she admitted, frowning at the ground. "But I just feel like... like I'm in limbo. I just - wish there was a resolution, one way or the other, so I could either celebrate or -" Or not.
She huffed out a breath that was equal parts frustrated with Koa and with herself. "But that's stupid, right? I mean, it's not like there isn't a ton of crazy things going on right now, and this shouldn't be the priority. I know that." But that didn't mean that it wasn't all she could think about. "I should be trying to figure out how to make a difference with everything going on, or making a plan for how to get Noe to leave Stormbreak, or any number of things other than whining about my love life." And yet, here they were.
Here she was, over and over again, choosing her personal problems over the greater good.
Maybe she was just as selfish as Jude had once told her she was.
