Of course because of how she'd positioned herself in order to hug Sohalia, Mateo was left with nothing else to grab but her wounded arm as he reached for her.
Gasping sharply as pain ricocheted up her arm and into her neck before snarling down her back, the pained set to her lips vanished as she turned in time to see Mateo's lantern slipping from his fingers, her whimper turning into a coo of reassurance. "Hey." Gesturing at her arm, Flora pulls away from Soh in order to tuck herself against her brother's side.
"Gods, I'm sorry to both of you. Ever since Jack and I were brought back, I've just been..." Pausing, the queen glances between the botanist and the Luminary, her aqua eyes dulling a touch as she sighs. "-hiding, in all honesty. But I should have said something...I didn't mean to worry you."
