flora
Raising her eyebrows with a you don't want me to answer that look in her eyes, Flora just hmmps! under her breath and chooses not to say anything.
"Well obviously." It didn't take being born into one of Caido's most powerful families for someone to think about their future. At some point or another Flora would bet everyone in Caido had at least considered the possibility, even if they immediately decided it wasn't for them. "Honestly. And to be beholden to someone who can just...read your every thought?" Flora grimaces and shakes her head. Of course she's thinking about what it might be like to try and bluff someone like Safrin, not realizing of course who she'd been talking to all along.
Gripping onto the side of the boat and trying to sit the rise and fall as the little vessel falls into the water with some sort of grace, Flora exhales a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding as the captain begins to propel them magically forward.
Trying to think of some clever bit of gossip that Jack might like to hear to pass the time, the question he asks has Flora's stomach turning into a block of ice that sloshes painfully in her belly with every small shift of the boat. "Mmm?' Rubbing her cheek against the collar of her jacket as if to suggest that the sudden loss of colour in her face might merely have been from the cold, the queen fixed her gaze out across the water. "He's...a dragoon, from Stormbreak." Flora murmurs. "Why?"

My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered in you
And now I'm covered in you
