Where some might have needled Asta for all of the details that had led to his reaction just now with Maea, Flora had always been more of the sort to act as though she was already in on all of it, and to piece together the details along the way. So it was that as they strode away from the bloody pool and the pale woman standing by it, Flora offered the butcher an exasperated and entirely understanding roll of her eyes. "Honestly, what goes through her head, I'll never understand." She murmurs, the words directed right into Asta's shoulder in the hopes that the fabric of his shirt might swallow them up and keep them from echoing out for eavesdropping little loreseekers to hear.
While it's true that Frey's Breath is quite the tourist destination, especially for couples, there's a suitably secluded section around the back side of the cavern where a few candles have blown out, and, instead of relighting them, swimmers have just opted to set up elsewhere. Leading Asta in that direction, the Doubletake gives her head another little shake (not enough to upset her curls though, of course).
"Did you hear about the stunt she pulled before the Ball, at the meeting of the leaders that she called? Nearly got a baby killed." The queen imagines Danta has mentioned it, but that doesn't stop Flora from underscoring the baby part.
