Koa
Don't you just wanna wake up dark as a lake
Smelling like a bonfire, lost in a haze?
The justification falls on deaf ears, which is just as well. Even if Koa wasn't thoroughly distracted trying to spend every ounce of his limited brain capacity on processing what's going on, there's no reality where he'd be inclined to take Jack's side over Kai's, or to do anything except defend his cousin, idiot though the boy may be. Family loyalty is very high up on Koa's list of character traits, ranking somewhere near such stunning qualities as labradorosity and very good at punch.Smelling like a bonfire, lost in a haze?
He doesn't even pause to argue. His brain, buzzing, moves on quickly, bumbling data point to data point as a picture continues to become clear. Pausing in his pacing, Koa swivels back on his heel toward Flora as another thought occurs to him. "Wait, did you- oh, sorry."
Remembering, belatedly, Flora's request for him to sit beside her, to talk to her like a person, Koa takes a stride back toward her before perching on a protruding root, his foot bouncing anxiously, his body a spring. "But, okay- did you know? When you first started dating? That he could read your mind?" There isn't anger or accusation in his voice; if anything he's indignant on her behalf, because fuck is that some manipulative, messed up shit.
If you're drunk on life, babe, I think it's great
But while in this world I think I'll take my whiskey neat
