"Hmm. The improvements to Haulani were not completed... but Longheat is not a good season to be working." He lifted his fingers from the water in a small gesture around the hot springs in subtle amusement at their own mini vacation. "We can gather more resources for now, and finish the floating island bridge improvements in Leafchange." More items for trade was never a bad plan, and the temperatures would be less insufferably hot in another month.
Steel brows rose in surprise - but respect - at hearing that Flora was already moving to protect her mind. That he assumed it was from Vox was his own fault, but he accepted it without question. "If there is a task I can help with, I will do so. And I will consider it for my next quest," he murmured, his thoughts drifting to his last conversation with Remi and the need to finish what he had begun for Safrin already--
So the Tidebreaker very much made the connection between Flora's father's recent inquiries into her dating habits and her announcement, and he needed a few moments to process that tangle of kraken tentacles. When he surfaced again he nodded at her muttering in silent agreement - it had been rude, but survival instincts had kicked in - and focused on her answer to his question. "...That is reasonable," he agreed slowly. "If he is serving as guard on them." He paused, and then straightened enough so that he could incline his head to his friend and co-ruler. "And congratulations. His name was a surprise. But I wish you both well." Jack might not be his choice for a dating partner, but what - and who - Flora did in the privacy of her home or the Hanged Man's closets was not his business.
