Flora feels exhausted.
Koa was back.
Soh wasn't pregnant and likely was on Starfall.
Those were the actual facts, and when spelled out like that, taking up just two little lines? What was the problem? So Flora had gotten the wrong idea, so there was a misunderstanding, so communication was neither of these two idiot's forte.
But you know what? It felt like a lot, because in Flora's mind were still the flashes of copper eyes and the way Koa's fingers had felt tugging off her clothing; there was the taste of bile in the back of her throat and the thought of Sohalia in some purple dungeon; there was a swollen belly and a gender-reveal hosted by the dragoon and Luminary for all of Stormbreak to attend; and there was the way things had just never quite worked out the way she wanted them to.
"I'm not hiding from you." Snaps suddenly, twisting the ring on her finger that Koa might see the mascara trenches beneath her eyes or the ugly splotches of colour on her cheeks. "I just—" Feeling heat rise to colour her ears as they began to ring, the queen shoved Spice out of her lap so she could stand. In response, the little dragon of course hissed at Sah and Pip as all of this was clearly their fault.
"Whatever, just get in the boat. You can row us back."
