Sohalia
Harper waved away her excitement, and she made a face at him as he dismissed her eagerness. "Well, I think it sounds marvelous," she told him in a tone that brokered no argument. "And I would love to take classes. What kinds of classes do you offer? Are there many students? Do you... have anyone my age?"She laughed as he wiggled his dark brows at her, but took his comment about chartering a skyship to heart. She did have a friend with a skyship, after all. Although he'd been one of the people to warn her away from the Feverlands, Soh wondered if she could convince him to take her for a quick flyover. Did she have anything better to offer than swimming lessons? A query for another time.
Harper insisted that he was delicate, thank you very much, and Soh grinned in response. He was tall and well-muscled - attractive, though certainly too old for her if he already had a son - and decidedly not delicate looking, but she supposed that one could have delicate sensibilities despite their outward appearances. "I'm sure you're quite delicate on the inside," she reassured him playfully.
She brightened as Harper offered to show her his elephant shift. "Oh, I wouldn't want to impose," she protested, but her tone was wistful and intrigued. She would love to see something new, something she'd only ready about before. It just seemed like too much to ask of someone she'd just met. If someone she'd only just met asked her to show them her snowy owl shift, she'd think it a bit of an odd request... but then, Harper was offering. "But if you're certain you wouldn't mind, I'd love to see an elephant."
it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
