and they will shake their heads
and wag their bony fingers

Don't worry, Sohalia, you're not the only one sneaking a peek. Koa couldn't keep from looking if he wanted to, especially as she spins about, giving him a thorough view. Aside from the delicate features and flattering clothes there's a vibrancy to her that catches him off guard every time their eyes meet, making him swallow and glance quickly away. It's a strange thing for the young Dragoon, usually so cocky and sure-footed. Maybe it's a sign of something deeper, something real springing between them.
Maybe he's just young and horny. Who's to say?
"Aw well." Snapping his fingers with rueful finality at Sohalia's declaration, Koa shakes his head. "Guess so. She's too good a hider for us. It's a long walk home, though; if only she could fly...."
At this the dragonling does emerge, squawking and chirping indignantly as she bee-lines back to Koa. He scoops her up before she can claw his pants too badly, draping over his shoulder like a scarf with an affectionate declaration of "Lazy little beast."
His charge dealt with the soldier is at last free to turn his attention fully to Sohalia. "Where to?" he asks her, copper eyes glowing as they catch the light of the falling sun. "I know a couple places, but if you have anything in mind..." He's not sure if he should offer his arm or take her hand and so he does neither, instead opting to fall into step beside her, eyes flicking over every few seconds to catch a glimpse of her face.

in all the wrong directions—
and by daybreak we'll be gone
