Perhaps one day it would be Jack's family, but as it stood Flora felt incredibly alone in things. Maybe if she begged Mort the god would let her see Enzo again this year, if only because, unlike Mateo, he had the same connection to Hotaru that she did. Then again, after how haggard he'd looked at the festival and given the colourful discussion he'd had with Remi, maybe he'd understand better than most.

Melting against Jack's side, while Flora's mind didn't brighten the way it normally did, the tumultuous nature of her thoughts did settle somewhat to feel him pressed against her. For how commonplace this sort of gesture from the captain had become, the Doubletake never once took it for granted; not when getting to this point with him had taken her literal years (and both of their deaths). Pressing her nose against his chest and squeezing her eyes closed against the wind, Flora sighs softly, straightening only when she felt the Ark level out above the waves.

"We both know how valuable that compass is." She points out, before blowing gently at Seven's tail as it came to bop her on the nose. "I'd rather spend half a day looking for it now than half a year trying to find whoever gets to it before we do."

How can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22?
Will you still want me when I'm nothing new?
