I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
His time in the Greatwood is coming to an end. Half a season, and Koa has yet to find a single bloody flower - unless, of course, you count the one that tried to eat him alive. He will not particularly miss this place, with its violent foliage and fluctuant paths.
But he will miss running into Sohalia, and the way the very sight of her can light up even the dreariest day.
Koa's dressed up nicely for what feels like the first time in a while: he'd managed to grab some things on his last trip to Stormbreak, like the fitted black t-shirt and light tan jacket, as well as stone-washed jeans. His hair is combed, his chiseled cheekbones sporting an intentional, well-clipped shadow. Like Sohalia, he'd deny that the attention to his appearance was due to this being a date. He's just a handsome young guy who likes looking good.
If that makes him more impressive in the eyes of a pretty girl, hey, who is he to complain?
He's been trying to decide what to say to her since they made plans to meet up; now as he pushes into the cafe, he still has no idea. Follow the vibes is his usual motto, but gods if he's been able to put a finger on exactly what their vibe is. It's good, of that much Koa is certain - great, even, warm and open and wonderfully, dangerously easy. All he knows is that his face lights up as soon as he sees Soh, happiness effusing across his features and something fluttering within his chest.
"Soh!" Pushing his way to the table she's chosen, Koa greets her with a trademark grin, his copper eyes grazing eagerly over her petite frame, taking in the braids and golden earrings with a lift of his brows. "You somehow look more beautiful than usual, which I didn't know was possible," he winks. Flirting hard, right off the bat? It's a bold move, and maybe a foolish one, but as I've always said: Koa's not a thinky type. He's just following the vibes.

Koa
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
totally sniped from odd ilu
