Despite who her family was—or perhaps because of it—Flora had utterly no desire at all to go play hero on Starfall, preferring to sweet talk and bribe her way into The Family's good books as a way of keeping her people safe. "No I know." Leaning forward and looking a touch relieved that someone else seemed to share the same opinion, Flora nods. "Like, yeah the weird creatures sort of suck and sure I had to fight off some shit that slorped up onto the beach, but...I mean, that happens anyway." Really was Dahlia even as bad as some of the tyrants of old, like Zariah?
"What do you make of the people who've gotten themselves infected?" She asks casually, poking her straw against one of the cherries at the bottom of her drink before popping it into her mouth.
