The prickle of jealousy that Flora felt seeing Sohalia's face twist at the mention of Koa was unexpected and unfair. In her defence, at twenty-one just because she'd fallen in love with someone else hadn't erased what she had felt for the dragoon—not by a long shot—though it was far easier now to swallow back the green tide rising in the back of her throat.
"Babe." Reaching out a hand and placing it on Soh's knee, Flora pulses her fingers reassuringly. "The Family nearly killed my dad. There's literally nothing you could ever have done to stand against them." No amount of training or smarts would have kept the Luminary from being spirited away in the middle of the night and while the queen understood why it was someone like Soh would place the blame squarely on her own shoulders, that didn't mean Flora was content to see it there.
"You didn't." Leaning forward to nudge her friend's shoulder with her own, Flora shakes her head. "Stormbreak is still standing. No one has died, and I mean..obviously, it sucks that Dahlia is leading, things could actually be so much worse. Imagine if you had tried to fight back, and the dragoons got involved? People would have died, and I'd bet everything I own that Dahlia would still be right where she is."
