it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
The little tea shop on the water was quaint; Sohalia liked it as soon as she saw it. She'd worked up a thirst as she picked her way through the market stalls and wandered past shops, taking it all in with a breathless awe that could only mean she was new in town. There was so much to see, so much to do! She'd explored with the type of infectious glee that only the young and innocent have, leaving smiles in her wake.
The tea shop, unfortunately, was full. "Pardon, patron," the maître d' said apologetically as Sohalia entered, grey eyes alight. "All of the tables are full at the moment -" The maître d' paused as a waiter ran up to whisper something in his ear. He straightened and smiled. "- except for one, if you don't mind sharing with another?"
Sohalia considered. She was always willing to meet a new friend, but she didn't want to intrude on someone else's meal. Finally, she smiled. "That would be fine. Thank you." And the helpful waiter led her to her - their - table.
The man at the table had brown skin and dark hair, and he sat with a large, ice-colored dragon. That gave Sohalia pause. She'd never seen a dragon in person before. She faltered for only a moment before she continued to the table and took the seat indicated by the waiter with a word of thanks.
"Hello!" she said brightly to the man and his dragon. "I'm Sohalia. I do hope I'm not intruding."
