(SE) wear your silver lining

Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins

As Soh listened to Jata's plans for his home region, she sipped on her drink carefully, a strange feeling of gratefulness blossoming in her chest. She'd been fortunate enough to inherit an established city to rule over, but the Flood was having to start from scratch. She didn't envy him, even as she knew that he would make it a wonderful place to live. "That sounds lovely!" she said with a smile. "I've always liked King's End, when I've visited. I could certainly see plenty of people wanting to live there." Including herself, if she didn't have responsibilities here. Sometimes she wondered what life would be like for her now if she hadn't taken so much onto her shoulders. Would she have moved to Torchline to be with Jude? Would they have ended up the same way they were now if she had?

But Jata had asked about Stormbreak, and Soh winced slightly. "We had a bit of an incident recently," she admitted. "A giant moth attacked the city. We were able to kill it, but it did some damage. We're trying to organize repairs now, but it's looking like it might be Flowerbirth before we can get everything back to the way it was. Other than that, though, things have been quiet. It makes me wonder, with Safrin disappearing, if it isn't the calm before the storm."

That we'd grow up sooner or later 'cause we wasted all our free time alone
