Sohalia
Sohalia was a nice person, but it was far easier to be kind to those she genuinely liked. So far, Tal had proven to be just such a person, and so it was easy for Sohalia to fall into playful banter and authenticity. She leaned over the railing as Tal spoke about the war, watching the Symphony pass by. From the way he told it, it didn't sound like the War really made much sense. It didn't to her, anyway."That's... a lot," she finally said, leaning back, her hands gripping the railing of the ship. Her blonde hair tumbled off her shoulders, catching the light as she let go and turned back to Tal. "Thank you," she added. "I remember that the barrier coming down was a big deal, but it didn't really mean much to me at the time. But, even though the War was horrible, and everyone was fighting everyone, I'm still glad the barrier fell. It means I get to explore!"
She glanced at Tal sheepishly, not meaning to sound so flippant about the reality of war. It had been terrible, she was sure, but even after his explanation, it didn't mean anything to her. She hadn't been touched by it, and that was apparent in how quickly she cheered after Tal's story.
it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
