i could be the reason you can't sleep at night
"I mean, if you're a telepath, she's..." Rolling her wrist, Flora fumbles for a word to accurately describe what Safrin was, before opting just to give her head a shake. Sure Safrin might have told Jack to say the words, but whatever had been in his mind when he had said them had obviously done the trick.
Feeling similar to the way she had when she'd placed her hands on Asta's cheeks and asked him for the inevitable truth—of wishing she could have had just a few more moments of delusion to enjoy what had once been—so too did Flora try and glance at Jack out of the corner of her eye and remember what it had felt like to think that just maybe... In the long run, it was probably better that it ended like this, though. How much more would it have hurt to finally admit what her feelings were for Jack, maybe what they had been all along, only for him to just shake his head and offer condolences in the form of I do like havin' you around, though.
"As long as you need." Forcing a small smile, if nothing else Flora's thoughts felt far away and distant, like lanterns of flickering brightness hung in a darkened warehouse. "Mmmmm." The queen hums, her brows raising a touch argumentatively. "I mean...a few easy tasks, immortality, got to make out with Safrin for a bit." She shrugs, flicking an invisible piece of lint off of her breeches.
