Seeing Koa again almost hurt worse than rejecting him, and she knew if she was hurting, then he had to be dying. She, after all, had been the one to break things off with him. She had someone that she could run home to. But Koa? She'd broken things off at the worst possible time, and so it was with a rather obvious flash of guilt that she looked up, a lightning stab of recognition and dread pitting in her stomach, to find that he was here to lead a training session.
The strange formality with which he addressed her brought a lump to her throat, and she found herself suddenly terribly sad but also perhaps a bit angry. Not at Koa, really, but at the situation - they could have been friends, if not for the situation in which they'd found themselves, and she mourned the loss of something that it seemed they'd never have - two somethings, if she counted their almost relationship.
And so it was with a mixture of sadness and hurt and anger that she shook her head. "That's alright," she said crisply, silver eyes betraying her flood of emotions despite her steady voice. "We're here now, and I'd hate to inconvenience anyone." Might as well get this over with.
