Now I'm sure that it's true
When Koa was young he and his friends used to scale these very cliffs. Idiots convinced of their own immortality, they'd scamper down the rocky faces, picking paths to designated spots from whence to leap into the water below.
These days, of course, such open water soloing was decidedly not an option. But that didn't stop people from giving it a try, and on a crisp and cloudless day like today one could often find a handful of climbers setting their pitches at the Falling's edge - Koa Carpenter included.
All of which to say, Koa is prepared for whatever adventure awaits them - especially if that adventure involves rocks and heights. "Glad to be here!" he grins at Zavien, grunting as the heavy bag of gear swings off his shoulder to thump on the ground. "Wasn't sure what the plan was - I've heard some of the pilots spotted nests out on the far reaches, so I figured I'd bring my gear just in case." If he's noticed how Zavien avoids looking at the Falling's edge, Koa doesn't let it show. Nor does Pip who peers over the Falling, chattering as a breeze ruffles her inky coat.
and I'm nothing like you
