the corner I haunt

flora

It's always been hard to impress Jack, with Flora never entirely certain what it is the captain wants (when he isn't between her legs, of course), but despite the way his approval has fireworks streaking through the sky of her mind, the queen merely offers him a shrewd smile. "I bet you'll want a cut of the proceeds, huh?" She jokes despite knowing that yes, of course he would.

Sighing out her agreement, Flora takes the bottle back, helping herself to a much more appropriate pull this time. She hadn't had anything to drink back in the guild, and though she didn't feel the need to get drunk, it was nice to have something warm inside of her to remind her of the heat she'd felt not so long before. "Yeah, couldn't you tell? You were drinking a love potion Safrin gave me from the second you walked in tonight. Sorry to break it to you, but you're fucked now." Certainly it sounded like the sort of thing Flora might once have done, but as open as her mind presently was to the captain, it would have taken strong magic indeed for her to have hidden the things she was falsely confessing to.

Coming to a slow stop, Flora sets the bottle of rum down on the sand before her eyes fall to the left side of Jack's chest as if able to see through his shirt to the ink below. "Can I see it?"

My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered in you

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!
