"You might meet some dashing rogue who sweeps you off your feet." His fingers walk up her bare arm as he muses, tracing constellations between freckles. "Or a charming princeling, who woos you with his riches." He's teasing, but there's a little insecurity beneath it, something rarely found in Koa's countenance.
If only he knew how painfully accurate his prediction would turn out to be.
Koa shifts on the blanket beside her, stretching out like an oversized cat. "Oh, you know- we like to send Dragoons to other areas occasionally," he explains from his position on the ground, his head on crossed arms as he gazes toward the sky. "I've been trying to volunteer for a tour for ages, but I never had seniority." Truth be told, now that it's happening, Koa is nervous to be leaving home.
"You'll have to give me a list of places to check out." He's propped himself up an an elbow, his bright smile and warm eyes focused back on her. His shirt has bunched up over his waist, leaving a swath of dark hair on tantalizing display beneath the curve of his abs. Gratuitous? Maybe. Intentional? Eh, we'll leave that up to you to decide.
and I'm nothing like you
