Blinking up at him, Flora scanned the captain's face for some hint as to what it was she was missing, or rather, what assumption of hers she'd wrongly made. Maybe it was a double-bluff, and he was just trying to make it seem like he wasn't talk about Koa, when actually he was, and..gods. This is why no one liked mindreaders, Jack. "Well, like you said, only one of us can read thoughts."

Flora began to pull away, expecting whatever was being shouted at him to properly require his attention, only to find his gaze suddenly fixed solely upon her in a way that had her breath catching in her throat. The ship is the worthwhile thing, she reminds herself as she follows him across the deck. The Ark, and calling down Safrin.

Her thoughts are eclipsed by the spyglass he places into her hand, and though without being tucked against his side her arms are suddenly speckled with goosebumps, Flora pays her body little mind as she raises the spyglass to her eye. "Where?" She whispers, moving too fast at first such that the entirety of the cosmos seems to race by, before slowing and trying to leapfrog from constellation to constellation to try and keep track of her place in the sky.

i scream for whatever it's worth
"i love you" ain't that the worst thing you've ever heard?
