Don't try to rush me, I know I'm lovely
Soleil, as a rather physical young woman, takes more comfort from the squeeze of his hand than anything he might have said. He knows her well, to nobody's surprise. Returning the firmness of his touch, Soleil offers a small, wan smile that marks the end of that topic, unwilling to ruminate on sadder things when there are so many better things to share.
"You really think I could rule someday?" she asks, a slight laugh in her undertone that exemplifies her disbelief. Soleil is more than confident in herself, but leadership has never appeared on her mental radar as something her future might hold. She isn't certain her happy-go-lucky, wandering heart would be of any use as a queen.
"I wonder why the knowledge hasn't been dispersed through the other lands," she admits, a small furrow forming between her dark brows. Was there something more insidious at work? Why had such technology not been shared with the other regions?
Her father pulls her back from her thoughts, and Soleil brightens anew. "Heels and sandals mostly! There are so many more fun shoes to wear outside of Halo!" As deeply as she loves this land, she can't deny there are benefits to living elsewhere. Benefits that keep her frequently leaving the region.

But listen honey we're gonna take it slow
