Koa feels the brush of air as Kaisel dodges away, his torso sliding with neat control out of the path of the punch. It's neither surprising or disappointing: the first few rounds of a boxing match are always more test than true attack, and it's reassuring to know his cousin is recovered enough that no punches need be pulled.
He drops back to defensive posture quickly and easily, light on his feet despite his broader frame. The retaliatory strike comes as expected, angled toward Koa's chest. He dodged back and to the right, mindful of their limited space as the knuckle knife slices into air. "I assumed, given how deep down each others' throats you were when I left," Koa laughs teasingly. He'd of course missed the ensuing drama when Kai abandoned his date to join Flora on the dance floor, which is just as well. He'd likely have made his own way out to smack his cousin upside the head, then dragged him back to safer waters.
Though... wait. "Caly... isn't she Nova's sister? So Safrin's kid?" Koa jabs out with a one-two strike, aiming for Kaisel's face, but his expression betrays that he's a little distracted by putting some pieces of a social puzzle together. "And Jack's?" His lips twist as he looks at his cousin, copper gaze narrow. "You don't think that had anything to do with... y'know." Captain Unhinged raining lightning from the sky to try and turn Kaisel into crispy fried cheese?
2/4 Koa dodges, and does a one-two jab at Kai's face
