Laughing a bit at that, Flora grins and nods. "He treats me like a real person, y'know? Like an equal." That wasn't to say that Koa hadn't, that the dragoon hadn't been a perfect gentleman at nearly every twist and turn, but with Jack there was never any pretense of trying to be more than he was, or treating her like she was more than she was. Maybe that was ultimately fucked up, but it worked for Flora in a way she couldn't really put into words.
"My dads are furious about it." Happy to divulge that particular piece of gossip, Flora downs the remainder of her wine with a dramatic ahhhhhh at the end. "He's a bit older, and his reputation isn't...I mean," huffing, Flora rolls her eyes somewhat. "This is Torchline. No one has a spotless reputation here, you know? But they basically cornered us in my bar, with Remi bullying Jack in one of the back rooms and Ronin giving me the third-degree out in the open. Then, even after they'd both apologized for being overbearing, they basically did the exact same thing when they invited us over for dinner."
Whatever bitterness had tightened the queen's expression suddenly disappeared as she looked down into her now-empty wine glass, her lips curling into a smile that was as sweet as it was twitterpated. 'But I love him. Like, really love him." She murmurs, her aqua stare flicking up a touch bashfully for a moment.
