i'd wipe the dirt off your name with the shirt off my back
"There's nothing to talk abouuuttttt." Flora mewls, undeterred by the way Jack evades her advances because she's already forgotten about them. How much of this her mind is actively recording is anyone's guess, but smart money would be to bet on none of it. "And until then, we can have sex." The queen agrees delightedly, and as the captain steers her toward the door, Flora throws a hand over one shoulder to wave a warm and adoring goodbye to those remaining in the Hanged Man. "Byeeeeee, love you allllll." She sings, before nearly tripping over her own feet and having to clutch at Jack to keep herself upright. "Oopsy."
The night air hits Flora like a punch, the salty weight of it creating an immediate tether to the way the room inside the houseboat had smelled when her mother had called her from sleep, threatening to teleport her back to that moment. Tensing all over without quite realizing why, the queen felt her mouth suddenly fill with saliva as her stomach began to heave. "I'm going to be sick—" She has time to hiss, before shoving Jack to the side and falling to her knees. The sounds of her mother's screams and her father's snarls blare in her ears such that the sound of her own vomit hardly registers as her drunken mind tries to reassure her that she isn't going to suffocate from lack of oxygen the way it feels like she is.
