Sohalia
Soh really didn't mean to name-drop, or to make it sound like she was something that she wasn't. At the end of the day, she was just some girl from the Hollowed Grounds who'd gotten very lucky in her company as she'd traveled. After the barrier had fallen and her guardian had died, traveling was all Soh had wanted to do whilst running from her grief. Looking back now, it had been the beginning of a new life that she could have scarcely imagined for herself. And had she known what El was thinking, she would have assured them that their life was likely about to change, too.
Their waitress returned with drinks and a box of first aid items, and Soh offered a smile and a word of thanks as she took a sip of her water. She ordered a bowl of stew once El had placed their own order and was about to reach for the box when she realized that it would probably be overstepping. However friendly she might be feeling after their shared experience, they were, after all, basically complete strangers, and El would probably want to take care of their own wound.
Still, they seemed unsure as they picked up a roll of bandages and put it back, eliciting a small frown from Soh as they elected to leave it until after they ate. Still, it wasn't her place to instruct El in how to bandage their own arm, and so she busied herself with another sip of water. "So, you're from the Grounds," Soh mused aloud. "And now you're in King's End. Aside from the unicorns, have you seen anything interesting in your travels?" If they had, Soh could make note of it in her journal for an addition to her maps.
