"As if there's anyone else in Torchline like me." Flora sasses, and though they're both injured, it doesn't escape the Doubletake's notice how comfortably she fits against the captain's side. He might be a shade too thin and too bent over, but the fact that he's warm and alive against her is all Flora could ask for. "Mmm. You never really know what you've got until it's gone, huh?" Raising a brow and doubting whether Jack needs to lean on his telepathic abilities to see the line she's drawing, the queen grins.
Huffing out a breath through her nose—Flora is not at all impressed by Ronin's antics, nor does she find them particularly threatening—she nods. "I bet he's miserable, actually." Tilting her head to the side, the Doubletake watches the cloud of red spray away from the shark's throat as Ronin tears into it. "He probably won't settle down until we're home, and even then, not until he's back with my dad. They both get funny like that." She explains with a soft shrug, though given Flora hadn't felt okay until she was back with Jack after their ordeal, maybe the behaviour of her parents was starting to make just a little bit more sense.
"Ohhhh!!! Right! So!" Twisting, Flora fit herself between the captain and the railing. "I was coming home from the Bodega and I hear the strangest voice coming from below. It was this...I mean, I guess he was a man, but he had this really boyish way about him." (Malnutrition. That's what it was). "And the way he was all covered in rags, I thought he was some trickster of Ludo's because he asked me to give him his cane so he could get himself unstuck from the rocks."

The rumors are terrible and cruel
But honey, most of them are true
