Sohalia
Sohalia would have been pleased to know that Hadama would have been embarrassed had she drawn attention to his title; as it was, she just inwardly began to panic about how to address him now that she knew who he was. Fortunately, Hadama continued to talk to her as though they were friends (acquaintances?) rather than in vastly different social circles, and Sohalia began to relax as the conversation moved on."I do! Lena is a good friend," she told Hadama with a smile. "We had lunch not too long ago. It was nice to see her outside of the Celestine. I worry that she works too hard and takes too little time for herself."
She paused in her work to peer curiously at the seam of rubies. She'd managed to open the crack surrounding the seam enough that she thought they might could try to pry the stone free. Water began to trickle down from above, causing Soh to tilt her head to one side in confusion.
it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
