Koa
There's an art to life's distractions
Koa lunges for Noe, but his arms grasp naught but empty air as she flits away like oil sliding across the surface of the sea. He pivots, snarling out a curse as he prepares to lunge again - but then Kaisel's crashing into the sand at his feet, and Koa's arms pinwheel as he skids and falls back onto his ass, and Noe's dancing away from them like a demented purple fairy. He scrambles in the sand, planning to run after her, but before he can get back to his feet fucking Liam is absolutely and inexplicably wailing on Kaisel, and then Maea is piling on and honestly, what the actual fuck? "Get the fuck off him!" Koa snarls to the ex-Dragoon, raising his fist to bring down on the asshole--
--and then Vox's anguished cry cuts into his marrow, making his teeth rattle and his eyes tear with agony and gods-damned triumph.
"NOE!" Abandoning Liam, Koa lunges toward his family, joy and relief crushing against him as he realizes that it's over, that she's safe. Kicking and screaming, sure, but safe, and cured if Vox's fury is anything to go by. Sohalia and Kaisel have her between them, and Koa allows himself a moment to reach out and squeeze Sohalia's hand in fierce, crushing gratitude. "Go!" he hisses. "I'm right behind you!"
He just has one thing to do first.
Koa spins back around, fury rising as he sees Vox twirlingTalyson around like a goddamned fidget spinner. "HEY, YOU CTHFOOLHU MOTHERFUCKER!" the Dragoon roars, pulling his fist back to swing, "YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT REAL FAMILY WAS IT IF PUNCHED YOU IN THE TENTACLED DICK!" Which he proceeds to attempt to do, swinging out with an extended punch, the rings on his finger sparking and humming as he does his damndest to hit a thing made more of static than man.
Then immediately turns to set off at a sprint, planning to follow his family back to the safety of Haulani as fast as he can.
