Whether I'm gonna curse you out or
Take you back to my house
Take you back to my house
The fingers of guilt already wrapping around Flora's throat seemed to gain extra strength as it occurred to the girl just how awkward all of this must be for Sohalia to hear. Once upon a time it was true that the queen had done the same for her friend, but Flora's feelings for the dragoon had only been budding then. It hadn't been easy to put her feelings for Koa aside in lieu of her friendship for the Luminary, but she'd been more than willing to do it. Now, though, so long after with so much having happened between, what had she been thinking to assume it would be so easy for Soh to do the same for her?
"I..." Swallowing hard before opting to try and drown the ball of grief in her throat with a large sip of wine, Flora shakes her head. "..I think what Koa felt for you and I was always kept separate." Not unlike the way she felt about the dragoon and Jack, or how Soh had once felt about Jude and Koa. The feelings should have overlapped, and yet somehow, for some inexplicable reason, they just didn't. Pressing the heel of her hand against her forehead, Flora groans and leans her cheek against Soh's shoulder.
"Have you seen him again? I mean, since you left the Refuge?" Realizing that probably sounded like she was prying, Flora is quick to straighten in order to offer her friend a wobbly smile. "I won't lie, it'll be...incredibly weird if something happens with you two, but I don't want to let that stop you. Either of you." Flora had made her choice, and for however much cognitive dissonance it caused her, she loved Jack. While thoughts of what could have beens might keep her up at night, certainly she didn't want them to stand in the way of Sohalia's happiness; or Koa's.
"It'll probably mean no double dates, but...after all you've been through, you deserve to be happy."
