Sohalia Lumaris
If Sohalia thought too hard about how easy training with her was in comparison to Tal's other, more capable friends, she would likely have been too embarrassed to continue. Despite her firm belief that everyone had to start somewhere with any new hobby or skill, it was much easier to tell others that and much harder to apply it to herself. Luckily, she was too busy being appreciative of Tal's knowledge and willingness to share it to give it much thought. She was nothing if not eager to learn, after all, even if she was unsure of the applications of her learning.
A slight smile turned up the corners of her mouth at Tal's praise, despite the fact that she hadn't landed her hit. As he lightly shoved her hand to the side, she realized just how difficult it would be to hit someone on the arm, especially if they were really trying to hurt her.
Despite Tal's instruction, Soh was unprepared when he took a quick step towards her and reached for her shoulder. Surprised, she forgot about the knife in her hand and tried to dodge; she tripped over her own feet and fell backwards, landing on the floor with a thump. It didn't really hurt, and she laughed as she looked up at Tal. "I suppose that's not what I'm supposed to do?" she asked, making a face. But since she was on the floor, she swept her legs beneath her and tried to surge upward, aiming her knife at Tal's belly, prepared to pull back if he didn't dodge.
