Alarm bells go off at the offer (threat?) of a tantrum. Koa's eyes jerk back to the porcelain mask, widening with uncertainty at what the hell he's possibly supposed to say in response. "Uh... I'd hoped to ask for stronger boxing wraps," he says, in a weak attempt at humor, his usually sunny smile a bit unsteady on his face. "But if you want to throw a tantrum I can't really stop you? Or if you want to, uh, I dunno, talk about it...?"
