KOA

Had to use a gif from that scene, eh?

Blissfully ignorant and still high on the success of their last date, Koa shows up less buttoned-up than last time but nonetheless dapper, in dark wash jeans and a linen shirt adorned with a subtle dragon motif. It takes him a few minutes to find Flora - he has to ask some of the keepers for directions, not having spotted her near the entrance. But the Doubletake is hard to miss, and soon enough Koa spots her ahead, lustrous and wonderful and as unmistakable as a cool breeze on a summer day.

"Flora!" Koa calls out brightly, walking toward the Queen. He's clutching a bouquet of sunflowers, the other hand raised in a ready wave. The smile on his face is naïve and guileless; there's no single thought in his poor little head save for excitement at seeing what he assumes to be his girlfriend, eagerness to sweep her into an embrace and soak in her sweet and sunny scent.

With each love I cut loose, I was never the same
Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
