Sohalia
Sohalia had unknowingly found a kindred spirit in Harper, and she found herself relaxing around him much in the same way that a child would relax around a parent, though she wouldn't have put it in exactly those words. It was simply easy to just be around the man, with his cheerful disposition and fun-loving nature. It was exactly the kind of person that Soh hoped to be for those around her.At Harper's invitation, Soh reached up tentatively to touch his trunk, emboldened by the silent reassurance she could feel through the bond. The skin was rough and thick, just as he'd said, and she marveled at just how different it was from human skin. They were so soft and pink in comparison; it was a wonder that they had managed to survive in a world that could produce such giant, majestic creatures as the elephant, or as fearsome, bloodthirsty creatures as the Ceffyl Dwr.
There was some emotion coming through the bond that reminded Soh of herself, sometimes, when she was missing Auden in a particular way. A sort of sad curiosity sparked in the back of her mind, though she was far too polite to ask outright what had brought that longing out in Harper. Instead, she ignored the emotion, sweeping her desire to know more under the metaphorical rug. "I had read that elephants are remarkable, but it's a whole other thing to see one - sort of - in real life," she said with a smile. "Thank you for showing me!"
it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going
