Sohalia
Sohalia was unaware of Tal's grimace, her face turned into the breeze created by their forward momentum. It really did remind her quite a lot of flying as a snowy owl (albeit a great deal less work for her), and she slowly relaxed as they rose above the treeline.That Tal had never heard of a skyship crashing soothed Sohalia's worries somewhat. "That's a relief," she murmured, almost to herself. She pondered Tal's words for a few moments. If the ship did crash, would she react quickly enough to shed her human form and leap into flight? She wasn't sure. Strangely, his comment made it seem like he knew that she did have wings, in a sense... but he couldn't know, could he? If he did, how silly must he think her? But here he was, helping her no matter how ridiculous she was, and she turned to smile brightly at him.
"I suppose it's silly to worry about something that's never happened," she admitted. "And I know you won't let us crash." She paused, glancing at Boreal as she circled the little ship. "It really is like a sea boat, isn't it? Just... higher. How fast does she go?" asked Sohalia suddenly. "Is she named after the bird? I read that peregrines are supposed to be one of the fastest birds in the world."
it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
