[o] [PQ] [SE] strength looks different on us all

Sohalia

Don't try to wake me up
Even if the sun really does come out tomorrow

With a parting smile for Lena and Zavien - albeit a far cry from her usual cheer - Soh found herself accompanied by Theea to the gate. As they walked over, she linked arms with her friend, her heart clenching at the sound of a whinny. Perhaps she'd made a mistake in coming to the Celestine today, so soon after the loss of her companion. Being around other animals, healthy and recovering, was like a barb in her chest that she couldn't quite yank out.

Still, she giggled softly at the sight of the unicorn herd, who had seemingly come to supervise. "Should we say hello?" she asked Theea, pausing before the dented gate and looking at the other girl. "They seem friendly enough."

Once introductions had been offered to the unicorns, Soh turned her attention to the gate. "I think the hinges need replacing," she said. "And we need to find a way to get the gate back into shape. Maybe if we take it off the fence and lay it flat, we can use hammers to straighten it out. What do you think?"

Soh says hello to the unicorns, then suggests taking the gate down, laying it flat on the ground, and beating it into submission with a hammer. :D

Don't believe anything you say anymore
In the morn, in the morning
