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
At last he releases Sohalia's hands, though the absence feels sorely cold. Ignoring this, he grabs the edges of his chair and scoots around the table until they're sitting nearly adjacent, ignoring the look of annoyance a fae waitress flashes his way. Shoulder-to-shoulder they look at the list, Koa nodding along as Soh reads aloud. "Soil, that's easy. And protecting something - heck, walk ten feet into the forest and I guarantee we'll find something you could protect me from." He laughs, but there's truth behind it. He fucking hates the woods.
"Selflessness? Also easy. That's just a Tuesday for you." Again he laughs, rich with fondness, the compliment as natural as it is sincere.
It isn't until the last one that Koa balks, drawing back a touch while once again a cast of feelings plays across his face. Confusion morphs to disbelief morphs to embarrassed incredulity; "'Create life?'" he repeats, looking at Soh to confirm he's understood. She seems blissfully unperturbed by the implications he's read into, and he tries very hard not to say it, but the question still tumbles out, stilted by laughter and doubt. "Like... what, having a kid?" No way that's right, not with how she's reacting.
And wouldn't that take, like, forever?
And who would she even have a kid with?
And why does that question bother him so much?

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