NOE
But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time
Noe scoffed playfully at Koa's teasing, sticking her tongue out at her brother before he pulled her into a crushing hug - which, of course, she returned. She didn't see much of Koa these days, and it was always nice to have a little quality time. The siblings had always been close, and all the physical distance in the world wouldn't change that for Noe. She was nothing if not loyal.
At Koa's question, Noe softened. "The house just looked so bare. I think the neighbors have gotten overzealous as the years have gone by." Noe might not have been particularly close to any of the gods, but she remembered decorating in honor of Ludo in the years before Mahina's death. It had been a while, but... "And I thought it might cheer Jude up," she added, biting her lip. She was worried about her best friend. After his dad had died... well, things just hadn't been the same.
She understood. But she wanted to help, and this was one of the few things she could do to try.
As Koa knelt by the box of decorations, fingering the leaves on a wreath, a little black head popped up from the decor. Mika hissed, weaving her head back and forth in greeting and drawing a smile from Noe. The girl knelt next to her brother, holding out her hand so that the mata mata could twine around her wrist. "I was thinking the big wreaths on the doors, the smaller wreaths on the windows, and maybe the little lanterns on the windowsills?"
