Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
Chiming away for a moment
Chiming away for a moment
Well, nothing Koa's done quite meets the level of having a daughter die, or a husband nearly follow. He grimaces, picking absently at a loose bit of dock. "Shit." What else is there to say? Sorry you dealt with a greater level of trauma than I can realistically imagine, guess my stuff feels pretty small by comparison? That would require an amount of perspective he simply can't manage just now.
Koa's rushing thoughts and anxiety are visible and he continues his slow disassembly of the dock. "Sohalia was taken- maybe Flora told you." Or maybe he knew in some other way. "And I couldn't do anything. And for all I know she's dead now, and I'm here instead of at home, and I'm too weak to do anything, and Flora hates me, and it all just... sucks." The words are punctuated by tugs at the fraying plank, and culminate in him yanking a large splinter free.
"How did you deal with it? Feeling helpless like that?" Because clearly Ronin had, given his current status as one of the mightiest denizens of Caido and Koa's personal hero - a paragon of masculinity to which the Dragoon constantly aspires.
