Sohalia
Soh grimaced at Flora's laugh, her mortification at being barged in on resurfacing. "Koa was actually very gentlemanly and tried to cover me up," she said, her lips twitching with amusement at the memory. Actually, it had all happened so fast that she'd hardly had time to be embarrassed before the couple who'd interrupted were already gone. It was only after the fact that she'd felt so completely exposed. "Anyway, they were super drunk, so hopefully they don't remember much about us." She might have lost her virginity technically in public, but she was hardly into voyeurism.
As they continued to talk, Soh began to relax, fidgeting less and able to meet Flora's gaze more. Still, as she really thought about it all, she felt... sad. Like there was unfinished business that she had no way of resolving, like she was headed for inevitable heartbreak but was too stubborn or stupid or romantic to avoid it. "Tell me about it," she said, pursing her lips and rolling her eyes. But it was a poor front for what really bothered her: that every rejection, or every lack of acceptance, stung.
She wanted him to choose, and she wanted him to choose her.
Flora protested Soh's stupidity, but the Luminary remained unconvinced. Sure, people still lived their lives throughout all the chaos of the world, but not her. She was supposed to be fighting for Stormbreak, for the people she'd left behind. Still, she softened to Flora's frustration, leaning to bump her shoulder against the Doubletake's affectionately. "Still," she said softly. "It's time for me to do something. I just... don't know what."
As for where she and Koa had left things, Soh shrugged. "He knows how I feel. He knows what I want. And I'm trying to give him time to figure out his side of things." She didn't know what else she could do. "I'm supposed to meet up with him at the pool party, and then... I don't know. We'll see, I guess."
