Sohalia Lumaris
Soh thought back to all the times recently that Kai had been at Flora's side, remembered the way that Flora had spoken about him recently. She bit her lip, trying to figure out how she was going to navigate the rest of this conversation without giving Flora's feelings away, while simultaneously trying to protect them.
This was going to be harder than she'd thought.
She paused, thinking. "Flora is... strong, and independent, and totally capable of amazing things without any of us to help her. But... she's also human, and she cares so much about the people who matter to her. Maybe to you, it doesn't feel like she'll lose you. But if you pull away... I don't know, Kai. Even if you don't mean to, it'll still hurt. No matter how much she says it won't or tries to be the one to push you away first."
As for the rest of it, Soh again found herself trapped by her loyalty to Flora. She couldn't say what she wanted to say, which was, pick Flora, you dummy. The Doubletake had made it very clear that not only was she still not over Jack, but that she didn't want to get in the way of Kaisel and Caly. So instead, Soh sighed. "People want to feel like they're important," she said. "So, even if it's not romantic, Flora probably wants you to stay her friend, and Caly... Caly wants to feel like she comes first to you. Like you'd drop everything for her - including Flora."
