Koa
His smile broadens at her teasing, the poor sweet idiot still blissfully ignorant of the trouble he may have caused for Soh. The new trouble - y'know, besides fucking up her first relationship and nearly getting her killed by a moth.
The smile falters. Maybe this was a bad plan.
Koa rubs the back of his neck, glancing toward where the squawking birds await. "Well... I really ought to finish repairing the Ningo pen," he mutters, biting at his lip in conflicted thought. It's a good escape, an easy way to get out of what will doubtless be an uncomfortable conversation (or another disaster), but...
Another smile back to Soh, accompanied by a shrug that he hopes is nonchalant. "They say many hands makes light work. Pip and I wouldn't say no to some help." Oh, Koa, you damnable fool. Why can't you quit while you're only a little behind?

i can't decide if it's a choice, getting swept away
