"Just checking." Flora huffs invisibly at his side. It was altogether too easy to forget about being invisible when you were looking ahead. Not unlike the way your eyes just blur out the presence of your nose, if you weren't actively thinking about what your hands looked like or whether you could normally see your legs moving as you walked, it just wasn't the sort of thing that would otherwise grab your attention. Not after seeing Jack strung up by the jungle, anyway.
"It..?" Frowning slightly—had she said that out loud?—Flora just shook her head. "Right. All the more reason to have those items stashed on the Ark, huh?" Laughing nervously, she twisted her ring using her other fingers. "Yeah. It's probably what led to that thing rolling up onto the beach a few days ago. My brother said he saw a smaller version of it in the jungle."
Exhaling with relief and having not realized that she'd been holding her breath every few steps, once she saw the beach Flora felt as though she could relax again. With that sense of security, the queen did something that felt very silly. Hey Jack? She thought.

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