Sohalia
It was true that they'd never really discussed the gods and who they individually revered, and in truth, Soh wasn't really sure about that, herself. She'd done tons of research, of course, but it didn't seem to help. Choosing a herald to serve seemed like such a personal decision, one that couldn't be made by simply reading books and jotting down lists of pros and cons. "I'm not sure," she admitted. "I've read about them, but I've never met any. From the stories I've heard, I feel the most drawn to Frey, but... I don't know. What do you think?" she asked, hoping for guidance and direction. Perhaps Jude could help her make a decision that she had thus far failed to make on her own.
She stepped back a little as instructed, gazing at Jude affectionately as he chips away, tongue between his teeth in concentration. And then, suddenly, their ruby popped free!
"You did it!" Soh squealed, scarcely containing her excitement as she fought not to jump up and down in place. Only the pickaxe in Jude's hand kept her from leaping forward for a hug (after all, it wouldn't help to get herself impaled at this stage in the process), and she settled instead for a few shuffled steps forwards before she leaned down to pick up the stone. It was a good size and weight in her hand, and she felt confident that they should be able to get a few earrings out of it. She held it up between them, offering it to Jude. "Look how pretty it is!"
