Sohalia
Interestingly enough, Sohalia had met Phoebe - it was brief, and it was some months ago now, but it had happened all the same. If she'd known back then who she'd spoken to, perhaps she would have had more questions. As it was, it was just a chance meeting in the forest, one that Soh rarely thought of, these days. Completely unaware, Soh simply smiled, intrigued. "Oh, how kind of you! I'm sorry to say that I only really know that Frey has two aspects, and that they have something to do with the Celestine in Stormbreak." She made a face. "I'm not really even sure what I'd want to ask, if I'm being honest. I appreciate the offer, though."At Harper's teasing, Soh giggled. "The Grounds aren't that bad," she protested playfully. "At least, not as bad as some of the other places I've read about. Have you ever been to the Feverlands? I hear they're horrid," she said rather cheerfully. "I'll keep that in mind for Halo, though. I have a friend who I think could help me get the right materials." She thought again of Tal and his courier business. She'd been thinking of him all this time as a friend, but he did run his own business. Perhaps it was time she supported his work.
"I suppose Torchline would be ideal for swimming," she mused, almost ruefully. "But there are, surprisingly, some nice areas in the Symphony. There's this one bend where the water branches into a little cove, shallow enough that I can touch bottom all the way across. It was quite nice." Aside from nearly drowning my friend, she added silently. She wasn't about to share the story of her atrocious swimming lessons out loud!
it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
