"What can I say? Curiosity and all that." The queen calls with a mild shrug. Parts of Halo certainly were beautiful (the inside of her mother's former spa, for instance), and given that it was Longheat, Flora had thought this as good a time as any to try and delve into the chillier portions of the region.
"You climb trees pretty well." Flora points out as Jack drops back to the ground, and though she knows it couldn't be farther from the truth, her mind briefly imagines a world where the captain had learned not from ships, but from actual trees. A world where his mother tended to his scrapes and bruises and his father told him not to climb too high. Realizing where her thoughts had strayed, the Doubletake shoots the captain an apologetic look before glancing in the direction he was pointing.
"Sounds like a date." She says under her breath, hating the idea that there might be more spiders scuttling toward them. Shivering as the feeling of thousands of tiny legs tickling across her skin became so real as to have Flora rubbing at her arms, she reaches out for Jack as if his realness might chase away the phantom itch.

I'm stupid but I'm clever
I can make a shitshow look a whole lot like forever and ever
