Sohalia
Soh, too, brightened as Everest admitted that he liked books as well. It had been rare, in her (limited) experience to find academically inclined minds in her travels, so she perked up considerably at the opportunity to discuss with someone like her. "I'll write a list," she said, flipping to a new page in her sketchbook and beginning to jot down a few titles that came to mind. "What kinds of books do you like to read?" She herself was a fan of history and geography, but really any good book was enough to make her happy. Despite her outgoing nature, she was perfectly content some days to curl up in her favorite chair and simply read the day away.
Everest was not the first skyship pilot Soh had met, and she smiled as Everest revealed his profession. "That's wonderful!" she said. "I love to travel. Always seeing new places - and flying is so fun!" She, of course, was thinking of her Attuned shift - a snowy owl - but skyship travel had grown on her in recent months, since she'd been doing so much of it.
"Mountains are tricky to map," she agreed. "You almost need multiple perspectives, and it's much easier from the air." She thought of her own attempts to map from the sky and grimaced. "It's harder to get the distances right when you're moving on a skyship."
