Even Pip is alarmed by the change, leaving her play with Tarak to curl, alarmed, in Koa's lap.
He lets a moment of silence pass, still processing what he's heard. "Ok. Um. Question." His words come with measured slowness, enunciated, grip shifting beneath his copper gaze the only warning of his turmoil within. "If I say yes, but then Jude isn't into it. What happens then?"
