"I mean- did you not see the giant rock fall out of the sky? Because we in Stormbreak had quite the view." Koa doesn't try to keep the incredulity from his voice, one brow arching at Edmund's protests. "Early reports say it's catastrophic." There's no sarcasm or anger now, merely the bleak simplicity of this terrible fact.
It takes all the self control Koa has not to laugh as Edmund denies what he knows to be true, the Dragoon's handsome face tilting with a mild curiosity that's belied by the copper blazing in his eyes. "No? That's fortunate. I've heard tell of some particularly unsavory characters. Violent. Murderous, even." He shakes his head as if to say, Can you believe the state of the world? "The last thing we need is more senseless violence. Wouldn't you agree?"
Abruptly he relaxes in his posture, flashing another mirthless grin. "But maybe it's all just rumors. After all, you haven't encountered anything like that." Liar. "Do spread the word- that the Dragoons will be looking into any reported attacks on the roads, and invite anyone interested in honesty and safety to report and assist." Nodding to Edmund, he moves to brush past the Ancient, his hands balled deep within his pockets as he resists the primal urge to punch the other boy. If the world wasn't falling apart and Koa didn't care about Jude, maybe the outcome of this meeting would be different. But for now, all the young man wants is to get as far away as possible, before he does something he might regret.
