I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
"I did like it," Koa's quick to confirm, nostalgia brightening the hum of his voice. "Don't get me wrong - I love the Dragoons. I don't regret becoming one. They've given me purpose, and a family." Even if that family is currently fractured, with Anju one one side and Koa cast across the way. "But I still wonder... would I have chosen it, if it'd been up to me? And would I be as happy, doing something else?" Hypothetical lives and choices coil like smoke within his mind; Koa shrugs, letting them fade, never one to dwell.
But the things that roll off Koa's back adhere on Flora's skin, and now it's his turn to offer comfort as she shivers in the rain of what will never be. It's a role he takes on willingly, his arm slipping around her shoulders as she tucks in at his side, holding her close in a promise of it's okay, I'm here. Aloud, he says, "That sounds exactly right. Sign me up for a ticket. Or as a roadie. Maybe I could be your caravan guard? Or juggle!"
He grins briefly, then lets his expression grow soft, leaning forward to press a kiss against her golden crown. "I wish I'd gotten to meet him," Koa says seriously, the fingers of his left hand rubbing circles on her arm. "He sounds truly exceptional. Just like you."

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