I think I can manage being collateral damage
"Yeah, I mean...things are going really well with Isla." Ever says a touch shyly, not because he was at all embarrassed to say it, but because just the mere thought of her had his chest tightening and his lips tugging into such a wide smile that it made it hard to speak. "I know I should probably be at home more, but...it's hard, you know?" There's a faint blush spreading across Ever's cheeks and the bridge of his nose now, and though he lets his gaze drop back to the rocks he can't quite stop his smile.
Looking up, Ever meets Koa's gaze calmly as he exhales, his eyes lowering to his friend's shoulder. Nodding stiffly at first before a sigh has his shoulders loosening, the aviator leans back fully onto his heels and ruffles a hand through his curls. "Yeah." He admits, perhaps a touch lamely; but he was, what else was there to say?
"That's what I was going to talk to Frey about. To see if I really am, and...what that means, I guess."
