Sohalia
Sohalia took the proffered hand with another sweet smile. "Is it that obvious? No, I'm from the Hollowed Grounds originally," she admitted. "But now I'm exploring Caido. The Greatwood was my first stop, and it's proven to be all I could have hoped for." She dutifully ignored the fact that she was exploring to avoid processing her grief after her guardian, Auden, had died. Perhaps she wasn't even aware of her evasion. It wasn't like she'd had much practice dealing with strong negative emotions.Not yet, anyway.
In any case, Sohalia released Harper's hand and clasped her own behind her back. "Do you come here often?" she asked. "I'm going to be leaving soon, and I want to be sure i see everything before I go." Bright and sunny, she was unaware of her chattering, barely pausing long enough for Harper to get a word in. "Do you have a favorite place in the Greatwood? Or outside of it, I suppose," she added. She may as well get recommendations for elsewhere in the world, too.
it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
