Sohalia
And of course, where should Koa suggest other than the Silk Houses?
Soh's steps stuttered for a moment before she managed to keep walking like a normal person, her face suddenly pale in the evening light. Memories of her encounter bubbled to the forefront of her mind, and for a moment, she shuddered, seeing the man she'd almost killed materialize in front of her like a ghost. But then, mercifully, Koa changed his mind, suggesting a place close by. So it was with a look of pure relief that Soh said, "That sounds great." And if her voice was a little higher pitched than necessary as she came back to reality, well, all she could do was hope Koa didn't notice. She'd hate to put a damper on an otherwise lovely meeting.
As Koa enthused about her travels, she offered a (somewhat relieved) smile. "Oh, goodness, it's hard to choose!" she said, laughing a little in a way that she hoped sounded natural. There's no danger here, she scolded herself silently. Just relax. Out loud, she continued, "I think my favorite so far has to be the Oerwoud. It's probably not the best to visit right now - I imagine it'd be horribly humid - but it's got some beautiful plant and animal life." And the Ceffyl Dwr, but we won't talk about that.

these aching memories still dance around me
