I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now

Pip, who is more than happy to be the center of attention, exhibits nothing but purred delight at Flora's ministrations. Koa watches through hooded eyes, the warmth in his chest expanding outward as he takes in this perfect little scene: Pipsqueak, now rolling onto her back in open demand of belly rubs; Flora, her face as radiant as a summer morning, slender fingers dancing across inky fur. It feels like hope and the potential of a future, like belonging, like family - all the things Koa's been desperately seeking, ever since his world turned upside-down.
Then those fingers are seeking him, and Koa bends forward obligingly, giving Flora better access to his dark hair. "Mmmmmm?" he hums, thoughts momentarily brushed away by the nails on his scalp, all the words he'd spoken moments earlier lost in the depths of her aqua eyes. "Oh... yeah, actually, there's a rehab section for Greatwood creatures displaced by the Void."
Slipping his empty hand into hers, Koa gestures to the south. "This way, I think," he declares with unearned confidence, not particularly bothered by the prospect of getting lost. He knows his way around the Celestine well enough, and if it takes a little longer than usual to find their destination, well, at least he couldn't ask for better company at his side. "Have you been to the Celestine before?"

Koa
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
