KOA
Her smile is back, her tone flirtatious, but something is different now. Tilted, fractured- and maybe if they just talked about it instead of masking the past with flirting things would be much better.

Arm in arm they stroll through the bodega, their bodies closer together than ever and their hearts further apart. Casting Sohalia a sidelong glance, Koa opens his mouth to say something real, then once more hesitates. He still hasn't figured out what he wants to say to her, so rather than put his foot in his mouth, he swallows his feelings down.
Instead he tries to match her teasing, to keep his affect light. "Oh, I can think of quite a few things I'd fancy," he quips, leaning down to bump her shoulder. "For example... food?"
