Sohalia Lumaris
This was fucking impossible. How was she supposed to steer Kai in the right direction without betraying Flora's confidence? Frowning into the fire, Soh's fingers paused where they scratched Tarak's head; the griffin made a small, indignant squawk as though to remind her that he was there, and she started up again. "This is really hard," she muttered. "Of course you're Flora's friend. It's just, you're talking about not being able to be what she needs right now, but what she needs is just for people to be there. So if you're going to create distance, it's going to hurt, even if she says it won't."
As for the rest of it, Soh didn't have the answers. She'd managed to fuck up her first two relationships nearly beyond saving - and, really, she'd only managed to salvage one of them, sorta kinda maybe, so what did she know about it all?
"People don't always make sense, Kai. I wish they did," she said ruefully. Gods, but things would be so much easier without all the layers that seemed to overlay every social interaction. "Trust me, I understand what you mean. You can love people in different ways. It's just... sometimes other people don't get that." Especially when you've slept with the other person.
Soh sighed, leaning back on her hands to look up at the sky. "Sorry, I'm not being much help. Look, if you want to be with Caly, then be with Caly. But just know that it might mean some distance from Flora. And if you want to be Flora's friend, that might mean losing your shot with Caly. I can't tell you what to do. I'm obviously biased. But I guess - whatever you decide, know that I'll take care of Flora as best as I can."
