your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand
To that, Flora can only shrug. Whatever she'd done to warrant the spray of flowers on Jack's arm, she hadn't connected the dots, nor did she have any sort of expectation now about how he might repay her act of affection. Aside from, you know, using the feather if ever needed.
"Shore is." Flora says dryly before immediately pressing her lips together to stifle the bray of laughter that she barely keeps caged behind her teeth. Of course her mind will shine with the awfulness of the pun even so, and the way her eyes sparkle as she glances over her shoulder at Jack very much suggests she isn't at all sorry.
Reaching to take the coffee back from him, this time Flora blows across the top of it before taking a sip. "I suppose with the way the Ark's built now, if any of those things happened you could just raise her into the air before you were beached or pulled under." The queen says, though there's a healthy amount of intentional consideration coating the words giving how new she was to sailing compared to the man at her side. "I don't mean this to sound as cliche as it probably will, but have you ever wondered if there's more out there?" Not mOrE AdVenTurE, not some metaphor for finding purpose in life, but literally more. Having seen the maps of Caido, there was just one chunk of land (well, mostly just one, post-war, anyway), but what if? What if there was more that no one had discovered yet?
Beyond how cliche it was to ask, it was likely just as naive, but Flora had a hunch that if there were other lands to find, the man currently at her side was more than capable of doing it if the right price was ever offered.
