Soleil
Soleil’s head bobs in eager, unquestionable acceptance of this new law. Trusting and accepting of nearly everything at face value in this strange new world. Halenani habitants stick together - it’s a new foundation stone for her life. And it’s clearly more than empty words as Paige reaches forward without hesitation to wipe away Sol’s tears with gentle fingers. Soleil leans into the touch, eyes closed and face upturned like a young pup seeking affection. The touch alone helps quell the tears, but the assurances go a long way to soothing the turmoil beneath.
Nodding, not quite trusting her words just yet, Soleil wipes her eyes roughly and blinks quickly to try and compose herself. Shell hunting sounded really fun, and it had no place for tears. Cheeks a little ruddy still and eyes bright but at least tear-free, Soleil musters a smile and reaches automatically for Paige’s hand, the way she always does with Luka. “Okay. Where’s the best place?” Complacent and trusting, ready to be led onward wherever the girl takes her. And, though she knows the girl in passing, Soleil realizes she doesn’t know her name. “I’m Soleil. What’s your name?”
