Enzo
Enzo's laugh is a boisterous thing, smoky like something you'd hear in the back of a bar that you can't access because of a velvet rope. "You're going to traumatize the poor thing when they find out it's a one-night stand by virtue of mortality!" Not that he'd be around to feel guilty about it, so that isn't a no. "People don't often get to check things off their bucket list after the bucket is kicked, so why not use the dad-benefits?" His vampiric grin makes it clear Remi's discomfort would only be a bonus in this situation.
As she flops forward he rubs her back with his free hand as if it will help the words flow, tracing the curve of her scapula and cresting over the edge of her dress where it hides the small bumps of her vertebra from his palm. Or simply because he wants to touch her as much as he can before he goes.
"I mean, tough love moment? Yeah, duh." His hand sweeps her hair out of the way of her nape to gently massage behind her ears. "If he isn't treating you right, then you have to swallow down those feelings because people fuck up the most in the beginning." Before years of closeness, loyalty, facing hard times side-by-side. The early days are where it's make or break. "There's starting off on the wrong foot, and there's starting off on a broken foot sister mine." Leaning closer, he thunks his forehead onto her bare shoulder. "And if you're going to settle down like an old maid, then you deserve the world Flora. Grand gestures, rocks at your window and all." And if he has to swallow his bitterness that he can't be here to help her vet these assholes, well, she can't see it. The world should have been theirs, and now he has to hear secondhand stories of some half-rate giving her crumbs instead.

I'll tell a guy I like him but only if I'm drunk
I might take shots real fast, but I take love real slow
