"Right?" Snorting, Flora rolls her eyes in agreement. "Everyone loves him. Like he can do no wrong, and yet??? Pretty sure I can list a lot of wrongs." Trying to make anyone hear them, though? It was like being gaslit by an entire continent of people.

"Okay, okay—" Trying to inhale around her giggles, the queen bites at the inside of her cheek as she tries to fix the botanist with a level stare. "Do you even think he thought that far ahead?" Survey says? Absolutely not. "If anything. I bet you have Ludo to thank for the fact that you didn't just grow up into a giant needy man-baby with Ronin's eyes." Ronin's eyes, Isla's size, and Aoife's neediness and affection. Remi's perfect child.

"Besides, think of all my things you can wear without having to pretend that you didn't steal them." Notably, the earrings currently shining amidst Mateo's curls. "Sounds perfect. And you can come and sail around on The Ark, too. There's plenty of space." Or, there would be, if Flora demanded it. "She can fly so there's no need for us to sail all the way around Caido just to find some warm weather. It can be just you, me, matching bathing suits and vitamin D."
