Sohalia couldn't look at Theea as she spoke, too ashamed and afraid of what she might see in her new friend's gaze. She knew all the ways that she'd messed up - and there were so many - and she couldn't bear the thought of sending Theea running for the hills. After all, who would want to get tangled up in the Luminary's web, after seeing the skeletons in her closet?
But then Theea spoke, and what she said was something that Sohalia had never heard before, had never even considered. Never pick the person who treats you like an option. The young woman looked up sharply at that, blinking, ready to argue that that wasn't what was happening - but wasn't it? She bit her lip, looking away again, her brow furrowing as she considered this new perspective.
Then Theea scoffed a laugh, and Soh joined her, bumping her new friend's shoulder affectionately with her own. "You're very wise, you know that?" Soh said, meeting Theea's gaze with an intentional smile, recognizing the kind of loneliness that she'd once felt when she'd left the Grounds. Then, huffing a sigh, Soh got to her feet, reaching to tug Theea along with her. "Come on, I think I'm all worn out for today. Let's go find somewhere to get something to eat. Or we can grab takeout and just go home. Your choice."
