never be so kind you forget to be clever
Had the chill in Jack's fingers not been caused by the aggressive disapproval of her family, Flora might have demanded to feel the touch of his hands all over her body in an effort to combat the heat. Instead, she merely twined her fingers all the tighter against his, her mind overlaying golden threads that bound their hands together.
"Well I hope I made it clear enough to them that you're not nothing in mine." Flora says all but under her breath. She'd honestly thought she'd gotten through to Remi when she'd gone to visit him the week before, and the fact that things had unravelled so quickly left the Doubletake a touch stunned. "I'm pretty sure Mateo liked you." The queen points out with a soft squeeze against the captain's fingers. No, Jack wasn't out to win any popularity contests, but it wasn't her family who'd taken such a dislike to their relationship, only Remi and Ronin. Sunjata and Hotaru, she was quite certain, would never act this way, and no doubt Enzo would be beside himself when he finally got to meet Flora's new boyfriend.
Raising her eyebrows, Flora glances up at the captain, his silhouette lined by an orange glow and bordered by the darkening sea that had her breath catching in her throat. "Or you could come to mine if you want some actual quiet." She suggests softly. For all the familiarity of the Ark, there'd always be a handful of people within the newly extended net of the captain's magic; unlike her home which would remain silent save for her own thoughts. It also had the benefit of things like an actual shower, scented oils she could use to fuss over Jack with, and a much larger bed.
Whatever he chose, though, Flora had no intention of leaving his side.
