Koa
It's true: LongNight has historically been a pretty chill time in Stormbreak, and our young man's life a sheltered one. So where Mel might find the idea of toxic sludge crawling out of a crater to be a normal Tuesday, the thought of it has something churning unpleasantly in Koa's gut. As for plants? "There's been reports of plants that used to be harmless going bad," the Dragoon explains. "Flowers making people hallucinate, trees that drip black acid, blood-sucking vines - that sort of thing." Not all of which he believes (rightly), but the rumors are there.
Perhaps it isn't a terrible idea, going to talk to Ludo. Something about Melita's grin has Koa wondering if maybe the Honeybee has more in common with the god of mischief than he'd initially thought, and he can't help but be curious as to what this other stuff might be. "Sure," the boy agrees with affected nonchalance, flashing Melita a grin. "We'd be happy to tag along. Besides, if there are slime monsters from outer space wandering around, I know I'll feel a helluva lot safer in the company of the infamous Honeybee."

it struck me that the two of us could run
