Sohalia Lumaris
Soh listened to Tal's explanation carefully, unease on her face as he began to explain. As she listened, though, a look of understanding crossed her features and she nodded. It made sense, really, when he put it like that. She hadn't known about Halo's history - not that it would have deterred her, particularly, from visiting the region for herself - but now it made sense why Tal had learned to defend himself.
She herself would take the same approach: she'd run from a fight if she could, would never go looking for a fight, but if someone attacked her? In truth, she wasn't sure what she would do, if she would be able to stomach harming another even at her own expense. But it was good to have the tool in her arsenal, if it ever came down to it. Which she fervently hoped that it wouldn't.
Touched by the courier's sincerity, Soh reached hesitantly for his hand. "Thanks, Tal," she said warmly, a faint blush on her cheeks. "I promise I'll be careful."
