Koa
There's an art to life's distractions
Koa's lips tighten at Sohalia and Kaisel's denials, unease sinking deeper in his chest. "Okay. Keep an eye out, yeah?" No sign of his sister, which isn't great given the plan to use this event as an excuse to get her skin pricked and her infection cleared. Fiddling unhappily with his gravetine ring, he casts keen eyes around the tense crowd. There's something brewing, some plan he isn't part of but knows enough players to sense is occurring. He tries to catch the eye of Deimos, of Flora, but they all seem caught in their own designs. All he can do is wait and watch.
And then it all goes to shit.
Flora's call is a clear indicator, her voice too sweet, too high and bright, a brittle edge to the sunlight. He whips his head in her direction, but he cannot catch her eye from here. And then there's movement, a flurry of activity and voices and Frey, and fuck, things are unraveling quick. Snapping into Dragoon!Mode, Koa looks sharply between Kaisel and Sohalia. "Help get people to safety," he directs, which is code for get yourself to safety, because Koa can't have them in danger. Straightening up, the young man tightens his bracers, expression set as he readies himself to join in the fray---
And then he catches sight of Noe, and his perspective shifts.
"Change of plans! Grab Noe!" Koa points to his sister before sprinting off, trusting his cousin and Sohalia to follow in his wake. Sprinting across the sand, he makes a beeline for his sister, arms extended in a bear-hug-grapple as he attempts to intercept her before she can take Flora down. "NOW, SOH!" Koa calls, looking back to where he hopes the Luminary has with desperate intention in his eyes.
