Sohalia Lumaris
Sohalia was a bit oblivious, if we're being honest, so most of El's discomfort was lost on her. What Soh did notice was a sort of... absence, as though El's thoughts were solidly somewhere else. While she was a curious person by nature, it was really none of Soh's business what El was thinking about, or if they wanted to talk or not. She was simply happy to be around another person, regardless of what that actually meant in terms of companionship.
She moved to stand, brushing off her skirts as she walked back to her bag (and leaving her canteen behind, in case El needed another drink). She gathered her belongings quickly and returned to El's side, flopping down into a seated position with her legs crossed beneath her skirts and her journal on her lap. As she opened the journal to a fresh page and lifted her pencil, however, El asked another question, and Soh looked up with her trademark cheerful smile.
"Oh, I draw other things, too. The maps I sell are annotated, so I keep drawings of local flora and fauna and notes on them, things like that," she said, offering the notebook to El to flip through if they wanted. Within the pages, they would find loose sketches of creatures, more detailed drawings of landscapes, tediously drawn maps, and copious notes squeezed into any white space on each page. It was, in a word, chaotic, but it was a chaos that made sense to Soh - and made it easy to design the finished product one she made her way home.
