your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand
Not unlike the way sailors undoubtedly could pick out different sorts of seas where land-folk might just see blue waves, Flora was coming to learn all the various ways that the captain could complain about something; this time, for instance, had her grinning from ear to ear as she caught the sly affection in it. Reaching down to tug up her leggings, the queen chuckles under her breath. "The sun is up." She mutters, squinting up at the nothing-coloured sky. "And if you check the note again, I never said when you had to come outside." Not that Flora wouldn't have been furious with him if Jack had decided to while away the morning on the Ark instead of coming to meet her, but even so.
Snorting, Flora's eye-roll is every bit as affectionate as Jack's enough had been, and though he'd not be able to see it, no doubt it was already filling her mind, and thus, his. Twisting in his arms in order to face him, the queen's shit-eating grin fades by degrees, but only in size. Her mind remains a warm and sunny place despite the overcast and frosty world around them, and as Jack speaks, there's only quiet joy in her mind, tempered by a sadness she ultimately can't help.
"You're welcome." Standing on her toes, Flora presses a too-soft kiss against Jack's lips, one meant not to inspire passion or arousal, but merely some stand-in for the hug she can't properly give him owing to the layers between them. "I don't want to be without you." She adds, her smile growing bashfully lopsided as her eyes drop to his collar. Choosing not to point out that being given immortality by Safrin, was absolutely somethin' like it, Flora instead tries to meet the captain's gaze. "And..if you use that one, I'll find you another....and another if need be. Keep you actually immortal." She chuckles before her expression grows soft and small. "While I'm around, at least."
