It's not so bad if it's like...on a date. [Going by himself would be different, would probably result in Koby's awkwardly wallflowering like he had when he'd first arrived. Having Quentin there provides a security, a safety that Koby's come to depend on. Also yes, he likes to see his boyfriend having a good time, so sue him.]

They're okay. I prefer ducks, if we're talking about birds. [We know, Koby.

He stays calm, he breathes in, out, stays solid and secure and safe, feeling out what's helping, what's soothing -- haki's good for a lot of things, but being able to read the subtle shift in emotions, being able to actually help the unhelpable was...up there.]

Yeah. I had fun. It was nice to just sort of talk to people, hang out with them. It would've been more fun with you, though.
