Koa
Ah, well. That's that.
Koa rises slowly, his body uncoiling toward Sohalia with purpose and control. His eyes are last; only when he's faced her fully does he focus on the Luminary, copper gaze muddy with the conflict in his heart. "Hey, Soh," he echoes her warmly, the easy smile not quite enough to illuminate his face. He hasn't seen her since the Mothman, since he'd woken up in that hospital room where she lay, as frail and beautiful as a porcelain doll.
When she may have said things and he may have heard them, but never mind that.
For now.
Carefully Koa looks her over, expression hardening at the fresh scar that peeks up from beneath her blouse. "You're looking... well. I'm glad," he adds with real ardor, some of that boyish warmth and color returning to his cheeks. It is good to see her up and about, as complicated as everything else might be. He's happy she's healthy.
He hopes she's happy, too.
Koa shrugs a shoulder, his smile widening. "Community service. To make up for all my crimes." A playful wink and a crooked smirk; even Koa can't keep a straight face at the thought of him being a hardened criminal. Again her shrugs, gesturing with his chin. "But yeah - Ms. Lena says the animals always get riled up after Long Night. So we've been putting their homes back in order. What about you?" he adds, heat tilted. "Enjoying the break in the weather, or...?"
