The tone throughout the castle was relatively gloomy these days, and for good reason. Sota was trying his best to bounce back, but grieving was a slow process. even for him, as overly optimistic as he was. He saw things that reminded him of Audra everywhere, but he tried to think fondly of her rather than continually remind himself that she was gone. Death was something to be celebrated as much as it was to be grieved, though doing such a thing didn't always happen so easily. He knew in time things would get easier for all of them.
Hopping down the castle steps and making his way into the lounge, Sota was glad that he wasn't the only one there. He recognized Clove, though he'd never quite spoken to the young woman before. A warm smile spread across his features as he drew closer to her, giving his characteristic low bow, head sweeping low to the stone floor of the castle before rising again. Upon further inspection, he noted the supplies she had with her, wondering just what she was up to. "Mind if I join you?" He asked, happy to make his exit if she preferred solitude instead, though her location in the common area told him that was unlikely. "I'm Sota, by the way, if you hadn't caught my name before."
Sota has a male bamboo lemur companion named Kaito, he's sometimes nearby but usually only if stated!
