you wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody
The placement of the festival this year had absolutely nothing at all to do with Flora, and yet the Doubletake couldn't help but take its location personally. Had this not been her only chance to see her twin again without her dad having to linger around she might have skipped it entirely, but aside from Jack, Enzo's was the only face she craved to see on the regular.
"At least if he shows up, there's enough firepower here to take him out." Flora mutters under her breath to Jack; her tone lacks its usually brassy confidence as she glances up at him over one shoulder. Having opted for the captain's hand lest she twine herself too tightly against his side and tear out his stitches, Flora's knuckles had been white with tension long enough for her fingers to have grown cold against his. Despite the way she kept her chin raised, Flora's head jerked toward every snapping branch as her mind twisted the low hum of laughter and warm conversation around them into something biting and cold.
Feeling like an absolute fool for the way she didn't want to part from Jack for even a second, Flora stared silently at the branches that reached over the Stone Symphony before her inner monologue turned cruel and mocking enough to have her dropping the captain's hand in order to hastily affix the little paper lanterns she'd brought.
Flora brings lanterns for Aoife, Enzo, and Vervain!
