we show off our different scarlet letters
"Well, you'd better not let Lena see or you're liable to get us kicked out for animal cruelty." Flora jokes, though the playfulness in her tone is disrupted by the way Koa's mere presence has every fibre of her being hyperfocused on where they touch. Never before would she have thought her shoulder capable of being so sensitive, but as his lips press against her skin Flora is quite sure that she could feel every minuscule movement, right from where his lips brushed against the delicate white hairs to the exact pressure of his kiss before he pulled away. It left her feeling vaguely dazed, as if she'd drank too much in the heat of the afternoon and had then tried to sit up too quickly. Rather than the accompanying wave of nausea though, the queen only felt butterflies take flight in her stomach.
"Sorry I left Spice at home." The queen croons to the dragonling, scratching just behind where her jaw hinged against her skull. "She doesn't really like to travel." She explains as if feeling the need to justify why she hadn't brought along a friend for Pip who'd presumably be accompanying them for the majority of their date.
"Mmmmmmm...actually." Turning toward him, Flora combs back his dark hair even though it was all still perfectly in place. "It's been a long time since I was able to go back and visit the Greatwood...maybe if the Celestine has anything from there?" While the Greatwood would always inspire rather complicated feelings in the pit of her stomach, it had been where she was born, and where she and Enzo grew up.
