Noe
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
Strategy sets the scene for the tale

Noe couldn’t have told Koa no even if she’d wanted to; he was her brother, the one soul who had been with her through thick and thin, who she could always rely on. Even when they fought - which admittedly wasn’t often, and never before on this scale - she knew that he’d come running the moment she called. That he would drop everything and everyone to be at her side, no matter what.
So maybe they disagreed on the teensy tiny matter of the Family. They could get past that.
Right?
Noe might have inquired about Jude, but something in the set of Koa’s jaw and the tone of his voice shepherded her away from that particular topic. They had a complicated history, after all - maybe sending Jude to talk some sense into her brother hadn’t been the best idea, in retrospect.
”Yeah, ‘course I do,” Noe said softly, squeezing her arm around Koa’s affectionately. ”And I love you, too.” She was quiet for a moment. ”I guess it’s just been hard with you gone so much. Me and dad get along better than you guys, but he’s still dad, y’ know? And I know it’s not your fault, since you were sent on missions or whatever, but like… I dunno. I just miss you, is all.”

I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
And the liquor in our cocktails
