the gray sky was vast and real cryptic above me
An idea begins to crystalize in Koa's head, a way of killing two birds with one stone. Putting the fabric he's been handling down, he begins to rummage through the bags of material, looking for something soft. It means he's distracted enough to miss the way Kai pointedly avoids his gaze, or to catch sight of any expression that might give his poor cousin's guilt away. Not that he's looking for it - there hasn't even been a shadow of a doubt in his mind as to whether or not Kai would return.
But his lips still twist unhappily at the picture Kaisel paints, even if he's still oblivious to the scope of what it implies. In fact his misunderstanding is total, and his tone conveys a little surprise that Kai would begrudge Noe the space she needs. "If she needs more time then we can't blame her," the young man murmurs firmly, a furrow between his brows as he looks back to Kai. "The shit she went through... all we can do is be there for her. And rebuild, until the last stains of those shits are washed out and she feels safe enough to come home." A nod seals his conviction; he needs to believe in this eventuality, that one day things will finally be set right.
Not wanting to dwell on all this dark shit, Koa quickly raises a length of slate grey velvet for Kaisel to admire. "Okay - what do you think of this? Is it giving Ludo, but a moth?"

Koa
I wanted you to love me like you used to do
