Sohalia
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you

While it was quite common for Sohalia to visit Flora's Wildering House - indeed, the ample estate felt like a second home - it was less common for her to lounge about outside of her room when Flora was otherwise occupied. It was not, after all, her house, and she felt more comfortable reading in the room that Flora had made for her rather than running into any of the House's other potential occupants. It had taken her a while to get used to the spirits that roamed the halls; though she couldn't see them, she knew they were there by the doors that occasionally slammed, the windows that opened on their own to coax in a sea breeze, and all manner of other little things that indicated that the House was very much alive.
Now, though, she was rather fond of the spirits. She'd always treated them respectfully, and they seemed to treat her in kind. One spirit - or perhaps multiple; she couldn't really be sure - seemed to have taken a particular liking to her. It seemed to reside in the House's library, and it had taken to leaving books out for Soh that it seemed to think she might like when it sensed her approaching. At first, these tomes had been her usual eccentric bits and bobs about star charts or cartography or any number of interesting and useful topics.
Lately? Lately, they'd been romance novels filled with smut.
This particular afternoon, the spirit(s?) had rewarded her with another such book, and she'd taken it out to the pool to lounge in the spring sun. She'd donned a simple black bikini - nothing too scandalous - and decided that she might as well get a tan while visiting her best friend. And what better to do while one was laying out in the sun than read a good book? She'd just gotten to the first sex scene (which was much more scandalous than her attire) when the sound of a door opening nearby had her glancing up, expecting to see Flora emerge from within.
When she saw it was Kai, she snapped the book firmly shut and sat up, cheeks blazing. Setting the novel aside, she offered an awkward, flustered wave. Aside from the fact that she'd just been reading smut, she coudn't recall the last time she'd seen Kai. Not since everything had worked out for he and Flora, certainly. The last time she'd spoken with the young man would have been...
Oh, right. When she'd been a complete and utter bitch. Oops.
"Hey," she called. "If you want the pool, I can go...?"
