Flora
Having no tolerance for reasonableness just now, Flora squeezes her eyes shut, bitter tears bleeding from between her long lashes. "If it was Remi..." she gasps, the words feeling like she is swallowing razor blades, each sound cutting into her. She winces, her breath catching in her throat, hoping Ronin will understand; if it were Remi on the other side of an impossible distance, the Knight wouldn't rest until they were back together, consequences be damned.
A small, pained sound escapes her as she feels Ronin's large hands fit around hers. Flora blinks her eyes open. "Tomorrow?" she whispers, testing the word as if to see if her heart can bear it. The uncertainty makes her hiccup back a quiet moan, her lips trembling. "Will... he'll be okay? until then?"
As for the rapier?
"He was... big. Not... not tall, but..." You know, wide. Bulky. "Like Dad." She has to hold her breath, biting down on the pain that rises like a swell in the back of her throat, fresh tears spilling down her cheeks as Ronin helps her sit up enough for the tea not to dribble down her chin.
The words are a weight on her chest, but she forces them out, her gaze unfocused as she speaks. "He... said it was because I helped push back the void. Said he was supposed to make an example."
