Koa and their father had never really gotten along, and Noe couldn't fault either of them for it. They were both too stubborn and hardheaded for their own good. Still, it was difficult not to protest Koa's scornful reply, and she gave him a reproachful look instead. Their father had done his best in a horrible situation, left alone to raise two children while fighting his health problems. But they never could agree on the topic, and so she let it go. She could see both sides in this particular argument, and she knew that there was nothing to be gained by fighting her father's battles for him. Whatever differences the Carpenter men had would need to be worked out by them.
But the tone shifted quickly, with Koa seeming to come to the same conclusion, and Noe rose cheerfully from the table at the proposed activities. "Why not both?" she asked impishly. "We can hit up a few shops, I can get a new bathing suit, and we can go swimming, too." And if they missed the last skyship, so what? They could always catch the first one out in the morning.

Was feeling so weak but baby I'm strong
Little did I know I'm a champion
