out of my shell

Sohalia

Soh blushed at Tal's teasing, in part because she had thought him quite handsome when she taught him to swim, and in part because her actions when she'd been in the Eye of the Storm with a different handsome young man were less than pure. Still, she stuck her tongue out at him. "I've only taught one handsome young courier to swim, thank you very much," she told him airily. "And I did a wonderful job!" Then she grinned at him.

Boreal shoved her way between them, drawing a laugh from Soh as the attention shifted away from her and onto the dragon. With Tal scratching between her wings, Soh reached to pat Boreal's head. They probably made quite the sight, the three of them, with the dragon happily enjoying her scratches while mildly inconveniencing the humans that served accompanied her. The city gates were rapidly approaching, and Soh turned the conversation back to Halo. "So, outside the Citadel - what are the places worth visiting?"
