Having already braced herself to hear an answer she didn't like, that the Fireheart was nothing more than a friend to the captain felt a touch anticlimactic and nor did it deflate the Doubletake's sense of impending dread the way it should have. That was the thing about building yourself up to hurt your own feelings, the truth never really fixed anything.
Grinning at Melita for her contribution to Flora's introduction, the Doubletake gives Aurelia a curious stare, trying to size the other woman up and decide if her comments were meant to come across as abrasive as they were or if the queen was just being overly sensitive. "I mean, I can always just not serve you then if that makes you feel better.' She says with a smirk before her gaze flits towards the Honeybee, her raised brow a silent question of what the fuck? before straightening. Torn between giving the real answer (I just went through a sort of breakup) or being flippant about it (pulling an Elle Woods and saying, what, like it's hard?), the queen opts for somewhere in the middle.
With a shrug, she glances around, eyeing the easy chaotic air of the tavern. "I'm not usually serving, but in terms of keeping this place running?" She grins. "Let's just say owning the most popular bar in Torchline has its perks as a queen." I.e., a constant source of bribes in the form of free booze when she needed to call in favours from the public at large.

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