never be so kind you forget to be clever
Over the years Flora has had more than her fair share of petulant moments such that she knows the tone in Jack's voice all too well. Still, it's so strange to hear it coming from his lips that her immediate inclination is to grab him by the shoulders and give him a good hard shake as if she might knock out whatever thoughts were causing it and instead make room for the way she saw him. Instead, she tugs at his fingers to slow his pace and slides her palm against his cheek to direct his lips down against hers. It was a kiss that was unhurried and familiar; not one of lust but of love. "No." She whispers softly against his lips. "It isn't."

Accepting the offered cigarette with a hum of thanks, the Doubletake inhales deeply, enjoying the way the tobacco mixes with the taste of gin and Jack's lips.

One of the reasons things hadn't worked out with Koa was simply because she couldn't spend enough time up in Stormbreak, and unfair as it was to Mateo, the same applied to him too. Still, she could be better. Would be. "Thanks for telling me." Flora says softly, turning her head to press a kiss against Jack's shoulder.
"Mm, well, you can see the sea from my bedroom window." Flora points out, quietly thrilled at the prospect ofharassing pampering Jack for the evening. "And if you get fussy I'll just mist you with some saltwater, how's that?"
