it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
When the dragon sat up and tilted her head, Sohalia could have died from how adorable she thought the creature was. Magnificent and beautiful, of course, but adorable all the same. Sohalia started to stretch out her hand, but hesitated. "May I... say hello?" she asked Tal, unsure of the proper etiquette in this situation. Neither her parents nor her guardian had taught her anything about dragons and their keepers.
Sohalia sipped her tea, swirling the last dregs around in the bottom of the cup as she listened with barely contained excitement. Her recent destinations had included the Greatwood's Undercroft; even after the war, its shelves were brimming with knowledge. Sohalia had spent days poring over great tomes of history and legends, determined to soak up as much as she could from the ages-old books.
Halo, she recalled, was a cold and lonely land with its share of dangers - of course, what lands weren't dangerous, these days? - and she felt her estimation of her new friend, already fairly high, rise even more. To traverse such terrain on a dogsled - it sounded wonderful and terrifying all at the same time! "The Sea of Glass?" the young woman repeated thoughtfully. "I read about it recently, but I'd love to see it. However did you manage in such a cold place? I can't imagine that much ice!"
She paused thoughtfully at his question, at first unsure how to answer. "Oh, it's so difficult to pick just one! But I think I'd have to choose the Oerwoud. It sounds magnificent, from the books I found in the Undercroft."

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