you are what you love

"Ellyra!" 

Soh's voice rang out over the milling crowd of people outside the cafe as she waved eagerly to her friend. Anani floated happily along beside her, chiming pleasantly at the passersby, who looked up in surprise as the little cloud wyrm - and the shade that followed her - made their way over to the nurse waiting beside the cafe. Despite the heat, Soh wrapped Ellyra in an affectionate hug. "Gods, it's good to see you!" she said, pulling back after a beat to hold Ellyra by the shoulders, looking her up and down as though to check for anything out of place.

Seemingly satisfied, Soh released her friend. "Come on, let's get inside and out of this heat!" she exclaimed. Anani came to rest on her shoulders, releasing her cloud, which evaporated into the Torchline air. As soon as they crossed the threshold into the cafe, Soh led the way to a table and plopped down into a seat. "This place has the best shaved ice," she explained. "Seemed fitting for the season. I hope that's okay!"
