walk me home in the dead of night
Raising her brows at the sudden rough bark of laughter, the queen's eyes trace the olive contours of the butcher's face for any signs of malice or upset. Seeing only what had been lingering there since they'd begun their walk, Flora hazards a low chuckle of her own. "Yeah, that's probably true." She agrees, her voice soft but affectionate. Danta could probably sell ice to Halo if there was something in it for him, all while dangling upside down and threatened with spears. Based on the slivers of darkness she'd heard of his past, the Doubletake wasn't sure how he came by his roguish charm so easily, though she'd never thought to question it.
"Speaking of, I assume you probably helped him collect the bee that I needed for my quest?" Aside from their dates, Flora had never seen the butcher without the Maverick by his side, or vice versa. "Thank you."
Coming to a fork in the road, one of which would lead down to the little boutique bar Flora was set to meet Danta at and the other to the Dusklight, the queen paused, smiling up at the butcher. "Despite how today started..." The surprise, the anger, the terror. "..I'm glad for it how it ended." Reaching out to give his arm a soft squeeze, the queen turned to go.
"See you around?" She hoped it wasn't a question.
