marked me like a bloodstain
Snorting, Flora relaxes her head back and regards the pale shadows on her ceiling as they shiver and tremble with the leaves outside of her window. Though she agrees about the coffee, it's a long few moments before she's at all inclined to move. Assuming she'll feel the captain stiffen above her or just up and leave when he's done with her fussing, Flora allows herself a handful more minutes wherein she flutters adoring kisses against his forehead and chases away any tension her fingers can find in his shoulders.
Eventually, they do get up and it's another tableau of domestication as Flora putters about her kitchen and puts Jack to work boiling water and fetching mugs. When all is said and done and they each have a coffee in hand, the queen blows softly over the rim of her cup as she eyes the captain across from her. However hot and tasty the brew, she was convinced it would have tasted entirely bitter had it not been for the sweet way they'd chosen to wake up instead.
