Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins

Whatever Soh had been expecting Colt to say, the small speech the rancher offered was not it. At first, Soh offered a small smile; she would know the lay of the land, for the most part, and could be helpful in setting up a base of operations. That much was true. But then Colt kept talking, mentioning Soh's leadership experience and inviting her to be a part of a future council, and her mind went suddenly blank.
She'd never anticipated leading again, nor serving on someone's council; she'd thought her days would be spent finding ways to entertain herself and make herself useful in some small way. She'd imagined a quiet life, settling down, starting a family... never in a million years had she seen herself moving to Hak Etme permanently to help establish an entirely new region. That was Colt's dream, not hers.
And yet...
"Uh..." Soh said rather unhelpfully, still processing the request. "I mean - I'm flattered that you'd ask -" Turning the words over and over in her mind, suddenly all she could think of was what this would mean for her relationship with Flora, who had been so happy to have her in Torchline, and what it would mean for she and Zavien, who were just starting out.
And yet...
There was something inherently exciting about starting something new, about doing something that had never been done before. And to have the chance to help build something from the ground up, rather than taking over something well-established... well, Soh could certainly see the appeal.
"Alright," she heard herself say. "I... need to think about the council thing, but... I'll come with you, at least for a while."
