Sohalia Lumaris
Soh was nothing if not kind and generous, and she was always thrilled to make a new friend. So as the pair settled into a comfortable silence in which each turned to their respective papers, Soh smiled to herself and began to sketch. She started with loose, soft lines outlining the nearby hills, blocking in the flowers, and teasing in a hint of the clouds in the sky. When she was happy with the loose sketch, she pulled out her pastels and set them in between herself and El (just in case they wanted to use them), then began to layer in colors and more defined shapes.
It was always relaxing to create art, and she had to wonder if that was what the gods had thought when they'd created the world. Was it as therapeutic for them as it was for her? Or course, creating the very hills and flowers that formed the basis for her mortal drawings was far different and more complicated than anything Soh could do. But it was still the same concept, wasn't it?
A little brown hare appeared after a while, seemingly content with their presence. Soh glanced at El, prepared to poke them if they weren't already aware of the creature, but her new friend was already biting back a smile at the little hare's appearance. Soh continued to draw, adding in a block of brown and shaping the form of the rabbit into her drawing. For a while longer, the young woman was content with her work and her companion, focused only on the feel of the pastels in her hand and the sun on her back as she hunched over her journal.
The unicorn, when it came, had two horns stacked one on top of the other, the top longer than the bottom, and a leonine tail. Its coat shimmered a pearly white, glinting in the sun. It wasn't nearly as close as the hare - in fact, Soh had to squint against the sun's glare to make it out at all - but when she did, she gasped. "El!" she hissed in a whisper, determined to try not to frighten either of their guests. "Look!"
