Later, Koa will go over this interaction in his head and wonder if he hasn't, in fact, been the asshole here. If maybe he's made some stress-filled jumps to distant conclusions based on mere threads of a picture, rather than the whole. He'll reflect on Edmund's initial denial of the event and consider that it may not have been the lie of a killer trying to keep him off the track, but rather the deflection of one traumatized by a harrowing event. He regret his actions, adding them to a growing list of recent blunders and towering mistakes.
And then he'll shrug the whole thing off. Because let's face it: Koa is far more proud and stubborn than he is reflective or deep.
He does have the decency to wince at Edmund's pained outburst, cringing at the cracking voice, the burning skin and shining tear. There's a rawness to the words that takes Koa aback, but before he can settle on how to respond the Ancient is pushing past and away.
Stunned to silence, the young Dragoon watches with tight-drawn lips and a dry mouth, his hands clenched firmly at his side. A sharp explosion startles them both; Koa frowns as Edmund runs off, kneeling down to retrieve the fallen scale before setting off on his own path to offer what aid he can. It would be nice to say he planned on returning the thing, but given what is coming in the young man's future, can you really blame him for losing track?
(Yes, Edmund. Yes you can.)
Koa has STOLEN:
Type: Light | Style: Defensive | Level: Basic
MothMan Scales | Incredibly lightweight but strong scales that can be crafted by a god into armour or a shield.
{FIN!}
