it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
As she sat and her new friend rambled a rather fumbling hello, Sohalia took a moment to look him over. He was taller and older than her, with dark, tousled hair and striking grey-green eyes. His dragon, however, was infinitely more interesting to the young woman, who had never seen a dragon up close before. She glanced sidelong at the creature, trying hard not to stare. How fascinating it must be to have such a creature as a friend!
"It's nice to meet you, too, Tal," she said with a smile, turning her attention back to the young man.
He asked where she was from, and her face dropped momentarily at the memory of home. There were good memories, of course - she'd had an idyllic childhood, for a while - but they were clouded with sorrow. Her parents had died when she was young, and the woman who had taken care of her after their death had perished not so long ago as well. It had sent her into the world alone, and though she was enjoying her adventures, it was difficult to know she had no one to go home to.
Still, she shook off the sadness quickly. "I'm not from around here originally, no," she admitted. "But I've been traveling the area for a while now. It's fascinating, isn't it?"

and when it's dark out, no one's around; it keeps glowing
