Koa
There's going to come a day when you feel better
You'll rise up free and easy on that day
It's terribly selfish for Koa to ask Zavien for comfort when his friend is still coming to terms with the fact that he died, but he finds himself leaning into the touch of both Dragoon and dragon, gratefully. Deep breaths, that's right - they can get through this. He nods absently at Zavien's sound advice, still struggling to hear past the pounding in his ears. Yes, better to take a rational approach. The last thing he needs is for Noe to get spooked and fly off the handle, the way Sunjata quite literally had.You'll rise up free and easy on that day
Coming to some sort of internal decision, Koa gives a determined nod and sinks back into his chair. "I'll talk to my dad. He can help convince her." Again he nods, as though to convince himself of the importance of patience in this, though his heel continues to bounce nervously against the ground. It's only when Pip nips gently at his ear that he truly realizes how far he's spiraling, and makes the herculean mental effort to bring himself back into the now.
Inhaling another deep breath, the young man looks apologetically back at his friend. "Sorry. You're right - she's safe for now. It can wait." Though the tight muscles in his back and shoulders suggest that he may not be able to. "I want to hear more about how you're doing, and your plans, and Lena. But first I need a drink - do you want a drink?" Never mind that it's barely past lunchtime; it's already been an exhausting fucking day.

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