Indeed, the dragoon's comment does have surprise spreading across the queen's face, and while she doesn't comment on it, certainly her estimation of Zavien grows with every bit of himself that is slowly revealed through their conversation. A man who'd taken the hit for the wrongdoings of those around him without batting an eye, who boyishly blushed at the mention of sex Frey and their preferred offerings but who was familiar with Mother Molly's?

"Oh gods, well don't let Mateo know that or you'll never hear the end of it." She laughs brightly, before casually linking her arm around Zavien's. He was taller than she was but Flora was able to match the length of his stride easily enough to make their stroll through the plaza smooth and comfortable, all the while filling the spaces between them with either idle gossip about the peoples of Stormbreak or Torchlinee, and occasionally seeing if she could make the dragoon's cheeks flush again with mention of Frey.
