"Yeah, cute little stall with a bunch of novelty stuff. You like?" Koa grins in response, pulling at his shorts to better display the pattern of chaotic birds. "They have stuff for women, too."

The heat and steam means Lena's flush initially goes unnoticed, though Koa does raise an eyebrow at the revelation that she and Zavien have already ventured to the springs. "If we don't find something this time, I guess you guys will have to come again!" he laughs with a shrug, copper eyes twinkling in the slanting light. And though Koa may not have gotten the reaction he wanted with his first set of prodding, the next response has him glancing back at Lena, both brows raised slightly this time.
Feeling quite pleased to have his suspicions confirmed, Koa has to exert all possible self control to keep the shit-eating grin off his face. Play it cool, Koa. You're almost there. "We talked about you, actually. When we were here." Turning back toward the shore, the Dragoon wades to where his pack is, figuring flowers have forsaken them again. "About how great it's been, getting to hang out. Zav's been especially happy, spending time with you. Not that I'm not!" the young man adds with a laugh, flashing Lena a knowing grin. "But he really cares about you, Lena."
