Sohalia
Soh was rather boring, in her opinion, but it was always nice to have that opinion challenged - particularly when it was someone who she would really prefer to impress. It was her turn to laugh as he challenged her, turning her own affectionate gaze towards him. "I thought we decided to do away with this 'miss' nonsense," she teased, a blush mantling her cheeks at his praise. The most interesting person he's ever met? She thought not, but she appreciated the intent behind the words. And there was, perhaps, a little part of her that hoped he was telling the truth - that someone like her could catch and hold the attention of someone like him.
In any case, Soh could recognize a topic that someone would rather not discuss, and so she smiled and nodded in understanding. She wasn't one to pry or press for information, preferring to allow her friends to come to her when they needed her - whether that was as a helper, a listening ear, or a shoulder to cry on. She'd been all three. She'd done all that she needed to do for now for Koa by letting him know she was here, if he ever needed her, even if she thought it unlikely he would take advantage of that in someone he'd just met.
They arrived shortly thereafter at a little cafe that Soh had never noticed before, and she followed Koa eagerly through a nearly-hidden door and into perhaps the most wonderful cafe area she'd ever seen. She paused in the doorway, delighted awe clear on her face as she took in the open air, the picnic tables, the fairy lights, the sunset - all combining to make a perfect little first-date spot. "Oh, Koa, it's beautiful," she breathed. "Don't you dare take me anywhere else. This is perfect."
