"So are you going to be rebuilding The Hanged Man soon?" Ronin asks conversationally. Having tailed Flora in whatever direction she'd decided to go, eventually Angel's End had almost funnelled them towards this area. Unfortunately the Nova can't say that they'll be any more likely to find any flora out here - other than the Doubletake herself, of course. "If you need a hand, you know that your father and I will be there. Just let us know the time and place." Shielding his eyes from the fiendish glow of the veritable lakes of lava in the near distance, Ronin draws to a stop and drops into a crouch, nudging a few rocks here and there. "Look at this," he says, pulling a face; it's a perfectly preserved skull of a fyrhund pup, something that he and Flora will likely hate - and that Remi and Mateo would likely love. Go figure. TALIESIN they said it's all been done but they haven't seen the best of me |

karma's a relaxing thought, aren't you envious that for you it's not?
"I meeeeeeaaannnn...." Wiping at her brow before tucking her bangs behind her ears to try and offer herself some relief from the heat, Flora shrugged her shoulders. "Selfishly, I really want to. I wanted to at the start, but I knew if I did everyone would say that I had my priorities wrong. Given how hard it was to even become queen, I wasn't so sure I could take that sort of hit so soon, y'know?" Glancing over her shoulder at Ronin, Flora raised her eyebrows silently in an effort to solicit his input. Frowning with squeamish unease, Flora peers over Ronin's shoulder. The sight of the skull has her wondering if he's going to say something about ghosts or the time she'd been bitten (and infected) out here, but surprisingly, he doesn't. More surprisingly, she realizes he's offering it as a birthday present candidate. "Dibs. You can find your own present." She sings merrily, before reaching down and plucking it off the ground. the White Knight

"No." Flora says with a sigh, her shoulders slumping somewhat as she rubs her hand across the bridge of her nose. "No, there's still a lot to do. I do think offering the people a place to just chill and relax is important though, but I can't tell if I'm just justifying wanting my bar back." Again she turns to Ronin, expectantly, as if he might (and should) have all the answers in the world. "We did get the Skyport up and running, and we're nearly done with our quest from Rae to help keep the void out of Haulani, though..." Soooooo, maybe she could do it? "Wow, I'm so going to tell him that you don't even care about his birthday." Flora jokes, grinning up at Ronin. "Gonna tell him that you only got him a gift a measely week before the actual day, instead of several seasons in advance." Blowing some of the sand off the skull and turning it in her hands, Flora nods. "I was thinking that. Or like, putting some clear resin and turning it into a weird fishbowl." Either way, it seemed super creepy and weird which was just the sort of thing the curly-haired Taliesin's seemed to go for. the White Knight

It's almost too hot to be so near to Ronin, but with so little genuine encouragement from the men in her life, Flora will happily wilt in the Nova's presence. "But what if the things I want to accomplish aren't the right things?" She wonders, her voice uncharacteristically small. 'Oh?' Her smile is hesitant, controlled even, though the swelling warmth in her stomach isn't. "Well, maybe if you and Dad would make some time for your favourite daughter..." Favourite living daughter, of course, her hangups about Aoife notwithstanding; Flora still didn't know Seren was back. Laughing, now it's Flora's turn to nudge Ronin's shoulder. "While I absolutely believe you would do that, just you wait until he gives you sparkly lube and expects a full report on how it performed.' Glancing at the skull in her hands before offering Ronin a sheepish smile as well as the skull, Flora nods. "I think I could get behind that. This skull was probably a good find. I doubt if there's much of anything else around here." ~FIN | ||
