Soleil

I was born a lover
And I will die that way

Soleil - a little too logical of a young woman - can't help but privately think that perhaps Koa and Jude were so broken up because they were young men going through their first heartbreaks (and thus prone to dramatics), but it's true that both of them being emotionally devastated at the same time while Sohalia remained comparatively unscathed paints the Luminary in a nasty light. "I think it's a valid concern," she reassures, using her free hand to squeeze Noe's arm where it's linked with her own. "And I support you if you want to make changes. But Halo has had leaders killed and deposed in the past, and it really messed up the region - you'd need someone else in mind to step up." Though she does frown and turn her eyes skyward, considering. "Although, she does have a council though right? That's more stability than most!" And would hopefully have Noe feeling a little less hopeless about the idea. "I honestly might have read her wrong. If you don't like her, then I'm on your side," she agrees easily, because she'd met Sohalia all of once, and had already thought she was too young to be leading. The rest is just icing on the cake of having Soleil disapprove of her childish tendencies.

"Its den might have been destroyed," she admits, not wanting to upset Noe despite her own persistent frown. "Maybe we should check it out? From a distance of course." Although she's always armed, she wants Noe to feel safe in her presence, and having a game plan will certainly help with that. "While we walk you can tell me more about Sohalia." It seems like the younger Carpenter has a lot to get off her chest, and Soleil has shoulders enough for all her worries and anger.

Lavender forever, kiss it till it's better
Honey sticky fingers for life
