It ends quickly; that's what happens when you put a level 14 demigod into a level 4 KQ, but there's no relief on the Doubletake's face as she sinks uselessly to her knees. Shaking and unable to regulate her breathing, Flora watches helplessly as her brother kicks what's left of the Walkin' Dude.
There's a ringing in her ears she can't quite shake, and though her fingers have gone incredibly cold there's a rising stream of fire in the back of her throat. Clenching her teeth against the need to vomit, it's a slow realization on Flora's part that if she had channelled Remi or Safrin during the vote to show Harper up, she and Mateo might have been seriously injured just now, or worse. Deciding in that moment never to give in to pettiness for pettiness' sake, still she murmurs a "Fuck you Harper," under her breath.
"Still not the worst date I've ever been on." Flora chuckles shakily as she rises to her feet.
