It's a long road to Torchline, given all that's gone wrong. Between the loss of the Skyport and the flooding in the Oerwoud, Koa'd only been able to get so far by skyboat before having to move on foot. And in that time he'd seen many refugees leaving the ruined region, had given supplies and encouragement and direction to find their way to Stormbreak.
But here's one refugee, at least, Koa does not intend to invite home.
Maybe it's everything having gone to shit. Maybe it's the lack of sleep. Whatever reason, Koa's nerves are fried and fraying, his soldier's composure ready to snap. Add a suspected murderer to this fragile state, and well... can the young Dragoon really be blamed for what happens next?
"Edmund." Hard words in a flat voice as he nears the approaching younger man. They'd only met once, and yet Koa feels he knows him, has had the Ancient in his thoughts for many a season now. And while many good arguments could be made that Koa has no good reason to dislike the Ancient, suspicion and calamity do not a good pair make.
Pulling himself to his full height, the Dragoon raises a brow. "Things in Torchline must not be as bad as I heard. Otherwise I would have expected to see you going toward it with the aid lines - being son of a former leader and all."
