Sohalia bobbed along on her tumsea floatie, reaching to trail one hand lazily in the water. The plus side of the pool being fed by the healing fountain was that at least she physically felt better, muscles relaxing in a way they hadn't in weeks, and she found that she suddenly wanted nothing more than a nap. For one thing, Flora was right; for another, worrying about it all wasn't going to make a bit of difference.
But before she could sink further onto her tumsea, Flora was scooting closer through the water, something soft and yet conspiratorial in her smile. Soh expected the excitement - after all, Flora was head over heels in love, and she deserved every bit of happiness that Kai brought her - but at the grand reveal, the Luminary almost fell off her floatie. "You what?" she half-shrieked, delight and awe and surprise warring for space in her expression. "Flora!!"
Somehow Soh managed to listen, despite the fact that she was practically beside herself, vibrating with questions and emotions that she wasn't quite sure what to do with. "Oh, my gods," Soh squealed when Flora had finished. "Oh, my GODS!" She reached out to grasp Flora's hand, squeezing tight in lieu of a real hug that would take them both off their floaties; then, promptly abandoning that plan, she tugged Flora into the water with a splash so that she could wrap her arms around her friend. "Congratulations," she breathed into Flora's damp hair.
Then, pulling away, she reached for Flora's hand. "Okay, so, ring?" she demanded. "And did you say you channeled Safrin to do it?" Their floaties drifted away, only to be pushed closer by the helpful household spirits. Soh ignored them, unwilling to let Flora go until she got all the answers. "I'm so happy for you!"
