Taking a deep breath of sea air, Flora exhales slowly. It isn't her ocean, but gods it feels good to be near the sea again. Unlike Jack who clearly got a bit squirrely when he was away from the ocean for too long, Flora hadn't realized how much she'd come to need the salt in the air and the slow rock of waves in order to feel grounded.

Twitching her lips from side to side, Flora is annoyed by her dad's presence the same way she might have been if he tried to kiss her goodbye in front of her friends when she was heading off to school.

"mmmmmmm...given that it's Leafchange, he's big on fighting and .... " Bouncing her eyebrows, Flora's grin turns crooked as she peers up at Jack over one shoulder. No doubt fucking the Knight this season would feel a lot like fighting to anyone who wasn't the Bastian. "So unless you've healed up really fast or are keen to die again, I'd say just let him do his thing."
