when it's dark out

Sohalia

Lena seemed at peace when speaking of the Celestine, and Sohalia felt herself relaxing in the woman's presence. There was something about Lena that was calming, and Sohalia felt silly for having been so upset before. Still, she couldn't help but tense at the mention of a skyship. It seemed that everyone was telling her to take one lately, but she just - she couldn't. "You're right," admitted Sohaiia. "But - well, this is silly, but - I'm afraid of skyships."

A pretty blush mantled her cheeks. "It's not the flying, or the heights, it's just - I don't understand how they work. I tried to read about them, but I just..." By the end of her little speech, her tone had grown frustrated. Then, she perked up. "But I have a friend who's going to help me get over my fear, so one day - one day I'll see it for myself!" She couldn't help but smile when thinking of Tal and Boreal.

and that's the hope I have
the only thing I know that's keeping me alive
