we show off our different scarlet letters
"Listen, if you and I are actually going to be a thing, then...I mean, obviously I won't be with anyone else." Flora is quick to add, feeling as though she'd say or do anything to smooth the sadness off of Koa's cheeks; to see him smile at her again. "But this all started before, like..back when you were with Sohalia, and then you were gone and I didn'tk now, and when you came back." Swallowing, she shakes her head. "I know we made plans, but...I wasn't sure if anything would really happen." The admission has her cheeks burning. It isn't that she'd ever intentionally wanted to doubt him, but now that they were in the midst of this particular conversation, Flora realized how much she had. How much she thought he'd let her down again.
Softly sighing, trying to keep her exhale from sounding like impatience or upset, Flora holds the dragoon close, ignoring the way the silence between them feels thick and loud. Of course how he chooses to break said silence has her stomach immediately twisting into knots, imagining the worst. You were right before, Sohalia did have my baby or I'm infected, long live the Family. Even if it was just lmao sorry you've got the clap, go swim in the healing fountain, why the theatrics? Why the—
—the first word she read when she opened the note was Sohalia. Trembling, she makes herself read, and then re-read, her face burning, her fingers mildly shaking. It was hypocritical of her to feel anything about what Koa had penned, but where jealousy had turned her blood to ice in her veins, anger and fear had made her knees weak and her fingers go numb. "But she's okay?" Flora whispers.
Raising her eyes, it's perhaps a calculated first question so that she didn't come across like a total asshole. Sohalia had been her best friend once upon a time, though clearly not any longer if Soh hadn't bothered to reach out to her, but instead to him.
