KOA
Arm in arm with Sohalia, Koa is content to follow her lead as the Luminary points out sights and stops, guiding them to a little restaurant with tables carved out of raw wood. It's oddly reminiscent of their first encounter, in a bittersweet, heartbreaking sort of way; the echo of an easier time.
They're guided to a quiet table and without thinking he pulls out her chair, waiting for Soh to settle in before taking his own seat. A fae waiter takes their drink order, and Koa's attention is briefly stolen as he asks about various liquors and libations, ultimately settling on a whisky he's assured was aged in the trunk of a local tree.
When he turns back to Soh it's with a genial smile, though one that fades visibly at the reminder of before. "Right, when you were sick." Gods, he hadn't handled that whole thing well, had he? Biting his lip, Koa runs a hand through his hair, his eyes flashing guiltily past Sohalia's shoulder. "I really... hell, I was a real fucking dick about all that, Soh." He chuckles, nervous and self-deprecating, shaking his head at his own idiocy. Without thinking he reaches across the table, stealing her fingers to squeeze between his. "I don't remember if I ever really apologized, but I'm sorry. Really, I am."

Let me go, I don't wanna be your hero
I don't wanna be a big man
Just wanna fight with everyone else
I don't wanna be a big man
Just wanna fight with everyone else
