you shine brighter than anyone

Sohalia

Of course, Soh was well aware of her shortcomings in the area of monster-hunting - painfully so, after her encounter with the Ceffyl Dŵr. Still, she didn't take offense at Deimos's muffled chuckle, merely grinning in response. She was relieved to hear that she would not need to join, and ignored the voice in the back of her mind that jeered that Deimos probably wouldn't take her, anyway. She brightened at his acceptance of her offer. "Excellent! You'll be my first customer - sort of." She made a mental note to send him a copy of her notes with a map of the Greatwood and the Oerwoud at her first opportunity, those being the areas she had explored the most.

Not really sure what else to do or say, and feeling much more calm and collected after their discussion, Soh watched as Deimos packed his journal back into his saddlebags. "Thank you again for your help," she said solemnly. "I really will be more careful from now on, I promise." She;d have to be, wouldn't she? After all, she couldn't always count on a Deimos to pop out of the forest to save her. Perhaps she should learn some self-defense of her own.

and that's the hope I have
