So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight

Alright, so Harper already hates him. That is what the look of cold inspection means, Koa's pretty sure, even if it's followed by the barest smile. There's no way this is going to go well; might as well not pussyfoot.
"As reported to me, the attack was on two individuals in the Oerwould. There were between four and seven assailants." His voice is calm and steady, but a lick of his lips and clench of his fist betrays the way his nerves vibrate. Copper eyes focus largely on the mermanta, occasionally flitting to the human King. "Reportedly, the two Torchers defended themselves... resulting in all attackers being killed." Without a scratch on the 'defenders', he doesn't see fit to add.
And then comes the tricky part. Koa pauses, weight shifting, trying to find the best way to go on. "One of the... victims, has already given his story, but there are some holes. I went to the scene already, but wasn't able to find much new information given the amount of time that's passed." Another pause and the boy swallows, but doesn't drop his chin. "I would like to speak with the other party privately before disclosing their identity. Though I would be willing to have a neutral third party present, if you prefer." So neither of them- especially the Stalwart.

No other version of me I would rather be tonight
And, Lord, she found me just in time
And, Lord, she found me just in time
