flora
Tension ripples through Flora at Jack's touch, not because she doesn't want it, but because she does in a way that's abrupt and dark. Slipping against him, rather than looping her arms around his shoulders instead she wraps them around his lower back, resting her head against his chest that she might not have to look into his eyes and see whatever annoyance or condescension is likely there.
"I mean...when you put it like that.." Only...the answer was still yes. She was asking Jack to fuck off with the Ark the way he normally did, and presumably as Melita was still part of his crew, she'd go along. Even if the Honeybee could still be channeled, maybe if she was out of sight she'd be out of mind as well?
Unable not to take that bait, Flora lifts her head and stares at Jack through her lashes with a feigned scowl. 'You refuse plenty of my direct orders.' She points out, before sighing softly and shrugging against him. "We could go see Safrin now...could...do whatever she needed together to get the Ark to fly during the day, and then..."
Much as she almost couldn't stomach the thought of Jack leaving and certainly didn't want Melita to go either, gone was better than dead.
