What do you get when two ruthless assassins raise their daughter travelling through the wildest reaches of Caido? Take one look at Theea and you'll get a pretty good idea. Cheerful and tenacious in equal measure, and curious beyond all else, she began her journey on a mission to find those her mother once called family. And find them she did, soon rubbing elbows with demigods, leaders and even ghosts from the past. Her determination is resolute, her thirst for knowledge unmatched. We can't wait to see where her next adventure takes her!
Congratulations, Theea!

“Birthday parties,” he repeated in an echo, earning Flora a barely muffled laugh. “I would prefer to show up for those over the meetings.” Depending on who the occasion called for, of course. Glancing back at the map for a moment, as a place to preside, peruse, and plot, he pondered over the parallels of simple pretenses. “We did much the same when she showed,” the name not being said out loud, for a variety of reasons. “Letting things remain innocuous and unsuspecting seems to be the better alternative.” No broad announcements to the whole. No specific leadership-defined processes.
But then there were other subjects at large, and his brow arched at her inquiry. Deimos was known for being blunt, concise, and honest; and if he was being so at the moment, the thought of asking the gods for a flower hadn’t even crossed his mind. “Evie and I have not considered that an option. Not when there are so many other things that could be done. Would Torchline?” Sacrifice something else for a plant all of them had the ability, alas, perhaps not the fortune, to grasp? The Grounds were building a different sort of fortress. While some Stormbreakers were probably willing, he wouldn’t count Dahlia amongst them, obviously. Then there was King’s End…”I still find it odd that nothing has been done there.” Refuge or not; relying on entirely one thing seemed a recipe for disaster.

"Same." Flora agrees emphatically, and had it not been for Erebos her voice would have been a good deal louder, before nodding her continued agreement. Whatever Dahlia had thought of their talk of uniforms, she hadn't made it seem as if she knew that they were bluffing. Maybe there was something to that, if only they could all figure out some common language to use that didn't need to be explicelty spelled out for static-y interlopers to overhear.
"Honestly I dunno." It's as honest an answer as he'd given her, and Flora felt compelled to repay him in kind. "If I was going to be a dick about it, I'd say that Torchline is offering five demigods to go and try and fight this." Halo had two, plus Sah she guessed, whereas King's Eng also had two plus Tal. "And I'm not saying that we're contributing more than anywhere else, because I know people can just up and move, but like...it'd be a hard sell, you know?" Torchers weren't really known for their altruism.
As for King's End? Flora can only exhale and nod. "I mean..maybe he had a chat with Dahlia the same way I did when she went to see him? And maybe she promised to leave them alone." Really it was all she could think, though taking Dahlia's word for anything seemed fairly naive, Sunjata was one of the strongest men in all of Caido so maybe he thought he had a chance of standing up to her if she went against her word?

“And Halo will be ensuring anyone infected can be healed,” he arched his brow, with a slight smile in return. They likely didn’t need to volley and rally back and forth to one another about the highlights, methods, and measures taken in the Starfall nonsense – the mountains and the shoreline had been effective in different ways towards ensuring, or at least, trying to parse through what could be done. “It still may be easier to simply continue going to Frey’s Breath,” without needing to meet with deities and heralds about a flower. Gods knew he’d feel foolish for even requesting it. “My concern is time.” Time spent looking and searching. Time spent not finding anything. Time that they might not have or get back before something else occurred. “But if we can get enough going there…” he shrugged, using the musing moments to check in on Erebos again; the child barely wiggled a foot.
As for Sunjata and King’s End, he’d probably be better off asking Ru – he valued and trusted her words more so than the Flood. “Perhaps.” Food for thought, and for later, most likely.

Grinning broadly at that, Flora tips her head in concession. "Touche." Deimos was right though, in that there was no use arguing about it. Especially not between their two regions who arguably had done the most in contributing to the effort in terms of skill and reinforcements thus far.
"An easier sell too. Who doesn't want to go sit in a hot spring and call it civic duty?" Sighing, once again Flora nods her head, her lips twisting into a bit of a scowl. "Yeah, I've been a few times and nothing." Grumpily the queen wrinkles her nose. Obviously she didn't expect the task to be easy, but for some reason she also thought that the few quick ventures she'd had in Frey's Breath would have been enough. Such was the life of being the entitled daughter of demigods.
"Well, guess I'm going to the Climb." The queen says with a playful roll of her eyes. "It was good bumping into you though. Maybe, uh...I'll see you for one of my LongHeat Karaoke Parties?" She lifts her brows, trying not to make the gesture too obvious incase someone was watching as well as listening.

He shrugged, but gave Flora another light smile; he’d have no argument against hot spring ventures either. But whether they’d all be borne into patience or fortune would only be conjured for the future, and so he nodded, understanding the need for substance, nuance, and movement all over again. “Good luck.” Though at her last statement, his eyes widened for a fraction of a second, perhaps at the mere horror, reluctance, and thought of a karaoke party; at least it would keep up the formalities of pretenses. “Only if I do not have to sing.” And could be in a corner, brooding ominously instead.
