SOHALIA
But you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
If Zavien was tired, then Sohalia was exhausted. She'd been running herself ragged trying to keep pushing through the pain of Tarak's loss, and it was starting to catch up with her. There were deep bags beneath her eyes that her makeup didn't quite hide, and she looked paler than usual. Her hair was tied into a messy braid that snaked over one thin shoulder, and though she'd dressed nicely for a day in her makeshift office, things just felt... off.
She knew that Stormbreak was home, and that home was everything. She knew that she should be celebrating, preparing to retake the city that she'd spent so much time dreaming of leading again. But honestly? These days, she just wanted to curl up under a rock somewhere and wait for someone else to do it for her.
A knock on the door drew the Luminary's attention. Pasting a smile on that didn't quite reach her eyes, the young woman crossed to open it to find Zavien in the doorway. "Oh! Zavien!" Soh stepped aside, gesturing for him to come in. "It feels like it's been forever since I've seen you." Not so very long - just since they'd battled the Void dragon and lost her companion in the process. The memory sent a stab of pain shooting through her, and she turned abruptly to head back to her desk. "How are you?"

And now that you're close I feel like coming undone
