So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight

Were Koa Attuned his ears might have flattened as Sohalia snaps and bares her teeth. "Especially here," he barks back sharply, head jerking back from where he's been surveying the entrance to the alleyway. No, she shouldn't hide forever - but it isn't safe, and that's the point, and he doesn't want to see her hurt.
But of course he doesn't say that, not in a helpful way. Instead he shifts his grip upon her, hands firm and unyielding upon her skin, his body shielding her from view. Finally focusing back on Soh, Koa scans her for sign of injury, his copper gaze grazing across pale arms, up a slender collar, to a face so close that he can make out her pores, to eyes the color of a summer sky--
Alarm bells ring in Koa's thoughts, and he drops her as though she were made of molten metal, taking a hasty, backwards step. "Sorry, I- fuck, Soh." Smooth. Suave. Running a hand through his hair, Koa tries to collect his thoughts. He hadn't gotten so close last he saw her, and now the sight of clear blue eyes framed by errant locks of blonde has further destabilized his youthful resolve. "I just- what if someone else had seen you?" Sure, they hadn't given two shits about him returning, but he wasn't a Queen.

Koa
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
And, Lord, she found me just in time
And, Lord, she found me just in time
