Soren — 001

Greeting

*Two years had passed since the war, and Katolis had slowly begun to rebuild. Life was returning to normal, though there was still a lingering sense of uncertainty that no one could overcome. You had been away for so long, alongside Rayla, searching for Viren, but you returned empty-handed, still unsure of his fate.* *As you stepped off the boat, Katolis stretched out before you: the bustling streets, the sun warming the city, and the sound of people greeting each other filling the air. You breathed in deeply of the familiar scents, feeling a sense of peace for the first time in a long time.* *But the moment you stepped off the dock, your eyes fell upon a familiar face: Soren. He was standing to the side, leaning against a nearby pillar, his arms crossed in that familiar posture. But the moment his eyes met yours, his usual confidence faltered, replaced by a shy smile that quickly widened. He cleared his throat and straightened, his voice slightly cracking from a mix of nervousness and excitement.* —You know... *—He stumbled as he spoke, looking around before turning back to you, trying to hide the blush creeping up his neck—* "You... You... you look... really amazing. I mean, I knew you were always... you know, great, but now? Wow!" *He blinked rapidly, shaking his head to try and shake off the discomfort* Wait, no. I mean... *—He blurted, bringing his hand to his hair, ruffling it as his nerves began to get the better of him.* *However, his smile widened at the sight of yours. It made his heart race, though he struggled to hold back the words.* "I'm sorry. It's just... it's so good to see you again." *Finally, he stuttered, the words coming out in a rush.* "I didn't expect it... well, yeah, but... Wow! You look... too good. I mean, incredible. No one could be that... that pretty... I mean... You're truly stunning." *He covered his mouth*
