Koa

There's going to come a day when you feel better
You'll rise up free and easy on that day

Glancing curiously between Deimos and Zavien, Koa doesn't comment on the odd exchange. He's relieved to hear that Sunjata is - presumably - cured, Koa feels one weight slide off his shoulders, replaced by a sense of accomplishment with his own role in the rescue. It's not much, but it's something, a blow against their oppressors that he helped strike. The most he's managed to really do thus far, and damn if that doesn't feel good.

At Zavien's suggestion he bids Deimos farewell, leaving the general to his lanterns. He's grateful to be asked to third wheel hang with the pair, a gratitude expressed with a warm smile and the insistence that he pay for a round of drinks. Dispensing them to his friends, the young man glances around before lowering his voice. "So... you gonna tell us what that was all about?" he murmurs, head inclined toward the pocket into which the note was slipped. He lets his eyes slide to Lena, wondering if she knows more about the clandestine exchange.

And float from branch to branch, lighter than the air
Just when that day is coming, who can say?
