I know you don't wanna turn me into your puppet
Jude's hands pause the moment Koa is mentioned. "Oh. I actually just saw him recently, in the Greatwood." And, given he still has no idea the hurt between Sohalia and Koa, he tries for a comforting smile. "I'm glad it was just an accident then." Immediately believing the best of the young man who had so charmingly accompanied him through the Greatwood's winding paths, unaware of just how much he is missing in his understanding of events and relationships. Relationships he is unwittingly part of.
Turning off the sink and leaving the remaining dishes for their return, Jude follows her into the bedroom and begins throwing together a small go-back into their well-used duffel bags. They've done this enough times it's practically habit, and Jude takes the initiative to pack Sohalia's things for her while she changes, accustomed to her preferences. When she emerges from the closet she looks much more put-together, and Jude smiles as he shoulders both bags and extends his hand to hold hers. "We'll go to the fountain first so dad doesn't go all mother-hen on you." Snickering, he pulls her to the front door, oblivious - for now - to her internal war.

But what if I just always dance around on your string?
