[ME] The Ride is Worth the Fall

Sohalia

Soh returned after her round, breathless and excited, because however concerned she had been for Koa a few moments before, she was positively gleeful to have won. But the smug smile slipped from her face the moment she saw Flora - a now shirtless Flora - with Kaisel and a man Soh didn't recognize (Hawthorn). A shirt pooled at Flora's feet, and Soh thought she saw a mess of something bright red in the folds of fabric. "Uhhhh," she said as she slipped out of the gate, pointedly ignoring the nipple pasties and very near nakedness of her best friend. "Whaaaaaat happened here?"

She looked between Kai and the other man, as though they might explain Flora's sudden state of undress. Maybe she didn't want to know, actually, so she shook her head and hastily added, "Never mind. Did you guys see that?" she asked, practically jumping in place with excitement. "It was so fun!"
