Soh tilted her head, her lips twitching with mirth at Tal's curse. She'd never been one to use profanity herself - not that it bothered her. Auden had just never used it, so she'd never really learned. She watched the blade as Tal sharpened it, pressing it smoothly along the stone. "That's interesting," she said of the blade. "It certainly sounds useful." She pondered its uses for a moment, lost in thought. If she were far enough away to use such a dagger, she wasn't sure she wouldn't just shift and flee. But then, she'd never really been in a position to be forced to fight before.She listened as Tal explained what he was doing, soaking up the knowledge like a sponge. She never knew what she might end up needing one day, and it mightn't be a bad idea to pick up a dagger before she went off on her next adventure, just in case. And if she had a dagger, she would need to know how to care for it. She was quiet for a moment, watching and listening, and after he'd finished explaining, the silence stretched on.
"Do you... do you think you could teach me about blades, maybe?" she asked finally, hesitantly. Quickly and succinctly, she explained what had happened with the Ceffly Dwr and Deimos, and how if it wasn't for the monster hunter, that she might have died that day in the Oerwoud. "It's just, I don't want to be unprepared again. I can't rely on someone else to show up and save me. It's why I wanted to train to begin with, in case I ever run into trouble that I can't just fly away from."
it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
