// one fine day you'll look at me //
Honestly, it doesn't much matter to Koa which of them did what asking: all he cares about is that they're together, and it's 100% because of him.
Ok, maybe 90%. The lovebirds deserve some credit, after all.
The joke about children has the desired effect, Koa's grin widening enough to hurt his cheeks as Zavien turns an impressive shade of red. A warm laugh rumbles from the Dragoon's chest, merry an unabashed and entirely good-natured, and honestly, when was the last time he felt so light or free? Catching his breath at last, the Dragoon shakes his head and waves a dismissive arm. "I mean- not yet, obviously. But I'm a patient guy."
"You're welcome," Koa repeats after swallowing, genuine and far more subdued. "Seriously- I'm so happy for you, Zav." Another bite, this time eaten slower as he thinks about the future that Lena and Zavien have in store - the one he and Flora don't. Koa's smile is bittersweet and crooked as he swallows down his bite. "Things... didn't work out, with me and Flora. So no double dates."
But he doesn't want to ruin the mood with his bad news, and so he soldiers on with a smile. "But don't think that'll keep me from third wheeling on you two. I'm harder than that to shake."
