flora
Feeling something heat inside of her as Jack reaches for her chin and adjusts her gaze, though 15 minutes certainly hadn't elapsed, Flora was suddenly quite keen to press her luck and see whether or not she could beat the captain's proposed timer. It was only due to the surprisingly sweet explanation of the various blooms that Flora remained where she was, utterly melting, twitterpated, and tonguetied. When she found that she was able to speak again, she clucked her tongue disparagingly before playfully swatting Jack's shoulder. "Why did you never tell me that before?" Wanting to throttle him with affection, Flora can only huff adoringly. "Gods, the arguments I'd have let you win if I'd only known." Known that he hadn't just strolled into the parlour they'd seen in Stormbreak and gone flowers, here, because let's be honest, that's what we all thought he did.
More than happy to pin herself against him regardless of the reason, Flora shrugs lightly. "I dunno, I think Pierce absolutely meant to do that on purpose." It still doesn't feel right to laugh about what had happened, but in light of her fresh trauma, it didn't feel quite so bad, either. "Maybe I'll get something to cover up mine." It was as close to outright asking Jack if he thought her scars were ugly, but after been told that beauty represented at least a quarter of the bouquet on his arm, Flora couldn't ignore the way her vanity gnawed at the back of her mind.
Humming against Jack's lips, as he pulls away and she is left to consider their next move, the queen sighs softly. "Nah, let's sink it." Even if she'd known that Hotaru had rented it under Remi's name it wouldn't have made a lick of difference.

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