your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand
Even if Jack hadn't said anything at all, the smell of tobacco and sea breezes that cling to him are far more reassuring than any platitudes he might offer her, not that she's have expected an aww shucks, you'll get 'em next time kiddo from him anyway. Sighing into the dark blue folds of his shirt, Flora nods silently, taking another full breath of air now that the healing water had more time to soften away her bruises. "Yeah." She agrees, not bothering to try and pull her lips away from his chest so that he could hear her better. "I used both my channellings in the Greatwood." Flora starts to say, before letting her mind fill in the gaps. If she couldn't hit things on her own and she was only as good as who she could call in at any given moment, then what good was she when she was spent?"
Not wanting to linger in her frustration for too long (for both of their sakes), Flora lets herself have one last petulant sigh before straightening, her bare torso still pressed against Jack's body. Reaching up to tangling her arms around his shoulders, the queen lets her fingers softly plunge into the back of his hair, her gaze almost immediately softening at the blue of his eyes. "Training tomorrow then? So I have a day to actually heal?" The water would wash away her aches and pains easily enough, but her mind needed a fucking second before potentially receiving another blow to her ego.
"Oh, also, I'm going to send Tal after some of the mageglass if and when a new pathway opens up." Grinning, the queen stands on her toes in order to press a gentle kiss against Jack's lips as if to cut off whatever comment the captain might make about oh no, my girlfriend doing nice things for me is so terrible, help. "Freezing my ass off in Halo while doing puzzles suddenly seems a lot less fun the colder it gets."
