First mate was it? Given the freshness of having just implicitly broken up with Asta while airing that he loved someone else right in this very bar, Flora wasn't all that successful in keeping her thoughts from spilling out onto her face as it seemed as though yet another blast from the past was here to destroy one of her situationships. She should have been happy for Jack that not all of his former friends were dead apparently, but gods she was far too young and too caught up in her own heartache to be that magnanimous just now.
Flor's lips twist slightly as she arches an eyebrow; though she did her best to appear neutral certainly some of the sparkle had dulled from her aqua stare. "Wow. First mate, that's a big deal." Leaning against the bar, the queen smiles. Given how aging worked around here, Flora might not have even been alive during Aurelia's reign as queen, and certainly the Doubletake hadn't bothered learning the region's history before fighting for her place among its rulers. And since her mother had never mentioned the cause of Atlas' death, Aurelia's name didn't ring any bells in Flora's mind as Melita offered it.
"Awh, I bet you can turn it around." She hums. "You and Jack must have been close if you were so high up." It's a touch leadingly said, but fuck if she cared. Her pride was too wounded to survive another blow and if Jack had had a thing with the brunette seated at her bar, Flora would rather cut her fucking losses early.
"Mhmmm." Glancing around the Hanged Man, the queen smirks and nods. "And Torchline, too."

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