Flora
Flora tilts her head, the mageglass glinting in her fingers as her aqua eyes flick back to Niki. "I mean, I’d love your help—if it’s not too much trouble, of course," she says with a soft smile, before extending out the stone for him to take. "And hey, I can do way more than just booze if that's what you want. Virgin piña coladas, hot chocolate in a sugar-rimmed mug, water from the Cordillera's upside down waterfall—whatever you want, babe, just say the word." The grin she flashes him is bright, though there’s a hint of something more sincere beneath the playful edge.
When Niki questions her motives, Flora blinks before laughing lightly, her curls bouncing with the movement. "You gave me your card, remember? Said to come find you if I needed anything?" Her grin turns a touch sheepish as she combs her fingers through her curls. "Though, uh, sorry about the Mathair’s...help. I really was on my way to try and find you before she brought you to me instead." She gestures vaguely at the ancient tree behind them, her aqua eyes flicking toward its towering branches.
Noticing the way Niki glances toward the forest path, Flora hesitates for a moment, her grin faltering slightly. "Oh..okay." She shrugs, though the movement is less carefree than usual. "I just figured since you’re not feeling great, it might be nice to have some company. But hey, no hard feelings if not." Her smile returns, though it’s a little smaller now as she brushes a stray curl from her face.

Fatefully, I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me
Misery, Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep
