I watch you like a hawk
like I'm gonna tear you limb from limb
Given he only knows Koa through the tearful half-stories from Sohalia and Jude, he can't help but rake his eyes over the Dragoon the moment he walks up, eyes sharp and discerning in a way that - to the casual observer - will surely come off as rather disapproving. Koa was wrong on one little detail after all - he was walking on three dangerous lines when it came to Harper's kids.
Luckily Harper doesn't know that (for now) so he gives Koa a professional smile that hints at the normally warm man beneath, hoping to put the young man at ease. In some ways he can't help it, serial adopter that he is. He sees an anxious young adult and simply can't resist familiarity. "Of course. We appreciate you coming to us directly." Hadama asks the most pressing question, but the two bounce off one another easily, a history of friendship making such exchanges pleasant. "So long as one or both of us can be present at the questioning as their representative, I don't see any issues with questioning whoever was involved." Due process and all that. If only he knew.

will the hunger ever stop?
can we simply starve this sin?
