Flora
Flora’s grin brightens immediately, the previous flicker of uncertainty melting away as Niki gestures for her to join him. Her aqua eyes sparkle as she turns back toward the Mathair; raising her hands in an exaggerated gesture of supplication, she beams up at the ancient tree. "Pretty please, could you take us to Niki’s place? He’s had a rough few days, and I think we’d all appreciate skipping the scenic route for once." Even if the tree wasn't inclined to listen, it was worth a try.
Slipping easily to Niki’s side, Flora matches his pace, adjusting her stride to ensure she doesn’t outpace him. "You know," she begins, casting a sideways glance at him, "—having lived in both the Greatwood and Torchline, I think I’m in a pretty solid position to judge which is better." Her tone is light, teasing, as if it’s a playful debate she’s already decided the winner of, even if she knows that pointing out Torchline's perks likely won't sway the necromancer's mind in the least.
Her voice softens slightly as they walk, her gaze flicking briefly toward him. "Anyway, you’ve got the queen of Torchline here as your personal tour guide if you ever change your mind. No pressure, though." And, despite her rather boisterous encouragement thus far, she did mean it.

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