Whether I'm gonna curse you out or
Take you back to my house
Take you back to my house
Feeling her stomach begin to twist into knots that had her wanting to gasp for breath, Flora only pushed her lips together, forcing herself to bear the growing weight of guilt. "No but..there's more." While the queen could have just taken the out, could have left the story unfinished, if it ever came out that the dragoon had been in love with her, especially if anything reblossomed between he and the Luminary, gods, Flora would felt as if she'd betrayed them both.
"Everything he did was so perfect." Flora whispers, the words a painful admission. Closing her eyes, the dragoon's handsome face and vibrant copper eyes springing immediately forth in the darkness, the queen feels the first treacherous but deserved prickle of tears against the back of her eyes. "He tried so hard, he..." The flowers he'd sent her, the thoughtful gifts, the carefully planned date...all things that Jack would likely never do for her but ones that Koa did simply because it was in his nature to be good and kind and giving. "Gods, Soh." Choking out a sob, Flora opened her eyes, tears spilling down her cheeks as she hiccuped in a painful breath, forcing the air into her lungs despite the way her stomach clenched and her throat tried to close. "It would have been him." This was the refrain which had haunted the Doubletake for weeks now, one she'd never fully been able to get out of her head. A melody that followed her around, even down into her dreams where she saw Koa's face more often than she cared to admit.
"I was so close to falling in love with him. For months it was on the tip of my tongue, but he was just...I mean, we were so far apart, you know? With everything happening in Torchline and Stormbreak, and...and I thought there would be time." Feeling a chill in her fingertips, Flora glances down to see that she's twisted her fingers together so tightly as to cut off circulation. Releasing them with a surprised gasp, instead, she takes to chewing on the inside of her cheek. "..and I must sound like such a bitch saying all of that and then turning around saying how falling in love with Jack had just happened, but.." Again her stomach clenched as an icy cramp worked its painful fingers through her.
She was saying too much, she knew it, but the words just poured out as Flora hadn't had time to properly grieve what had happened with Koa. "..the day I told him I couldn't be with him, he said he loved me, and—" Biting back a sob that had her entire body trembling and then growing taut, the queen bit her cheek hard enough to taste copper. "—Soh, I don't think I'll ever get over that."
