Koa's request sounds like a complex one—Spice? Towels? Inside?—and before Flora's mind can cut through the gin-soaked warbles of pain ricocheting up from her ankle to form an answer, she's suddenly flying, (or floating at the very least). Curling her arms around Koa's neck and pressing her nose beneath his jaw in an effort to steady herself, the Doubletake hiccups a small moan as the dragoon's rise— however gentle—moves her ankle. Trembling slightly with the pain, Flora swallowed hard as she clenched her teeth together. For all the things the queen possessed, a high pain tolerance was not necessarily at the top of the list.
Taking her cues from Koa, Spice offers up a crooning reply as she races inside. The sounds of various cupboard-related items will be heard falling onto the floor as the little dragon tugs at several towels and begins blasting them with her breath.
"Okay." Flora manages, the word stiff from her lips as she tries to keep her entire body still. Tilting her head slightly, it's only out of the corner of her peripheral vision that she sees the glimmer of copper in the firelight, but it's enough to have the breath she was already holding lodge painfully in her throat.
Wait. Koa?
"But...we're fighting." She protests, suddenly far too aware of the way that the scent of the ocean had started to cling to him as it never had when he'd been stationed properly in Stormbreak. Then something else occurs to her.
"Did you make me fall on purpose?!"

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