"But not impossible." Flora counters without looking up from the water. She doesn't need to, of course, not with her thoughts filling in the blanks: I did. The pair had been nothing more than fuck buddies for, gods, years before anything resembling the S.S. Situationship they were now on had started to form. But if that wasn't Aurelia had been to Jack, then fine.
As Jack steps back the queen raises an eyebrow before smirking. "Chicken." She says with an affectionate roll of her eyes before dipping her fingers into the springs and then flicking them up at him, fully expecting the droplets to turn around midair and splash back in her direction.
"So she bailed on Torchline, bailed on you, and by the sounds of it, now wants to prove herself as some, like, hero." It had sounded that way, wanting to protect Torchline, wanting to know about Starfall and how to fight the spread of the void. Though she doesn't come right around and say it, her thoughts more than suggest that if Jack did still think of her as a friend it'd probably be worth telling her to slow her roll.
Lifting her container of water and sealing, Flora glances around for one of the stupid lilies before standing. "So...speaking of people bailing, can I say something selfish?" Reaching out but not actually grabbing at Jack, the queen bites at her lip. Whether he said yes or no, he'd already know what had her lips turning down at the edges: Melita. Demigod. Being part of the hero squad. Maybe dying.
