Clearing her throat almost apologetically, the Doubletake shifts on the steps to better face Safrin, before swallowing hard and steeling her nerve. "No, totally you can, and I didn't mean to suggest otherwise, only..." Flora shrugs a little. "You know, you're busy and that's a lot of effort, so I thought I'd just...bring it to you." And, before Safrin could say no or turn her into some horrible ugly old woman, Flora decided to press her luck and just spill it.

And--" Flora raises her chin. "--no one else seemed to care."
