Sohalia Lumaris
Boreal snorted at Tal's antics as Sohalia giggled helplessly. As an only child, she'd never had much opportunity to be silly with siblings, and she hadn't grown up with many friends. In many ways, Tal's playfulness awakened a sort of childishness inside her that she hadn't known existed. When Tal flopped back dramatically, Soh poked at his side, wondering if he was ticklish, to see if she could get him to break character.
Soon enough, he sat up, praising her abilities, and she sat on the floor beside him. "It's the staff training," she said. "I'd never have managed if I hadn't been training." She listened carefully to his instructions, nodding. She'd never have considered blinding her opponent, and she tucked the knowledge away in the back of her mind, hoping that she'd never have to actually use any of this. "Head wounds equal blood. Got it." She made a face, distaste coloring her features. "How do you do it? Fight this way, I mean. I think I'd just feel bad hurting somebody."
