i want to taste you again
Jack appears on the doorstep of Flora's little house in Haulani in clean clothes and smelling of fresh peppermint and cedarwood, even if a large part of him still feels as if he's bathed in whiskey. Grumbling his agreement to Mateo's terms, whatever they are, when the botanist opens the door, Jack is already stepping past him and pulling his hair up into a hasty topknot as he heads right for the stairs.
He knows Flora's brother isn't going to be far for this conversation, and that's with or without his magic; with eyes red-rimmed and seeming subdued and yet quietly fierce, Jack sees Mateo for the first time with that same steel in his spine that he shares with the Doubletake. Speaking of which, Jack shrugs out of his coat and folds it over the banister before pausing outside Flora's bedroom door, reaching out to rap against it with his knuckles rather than simply bursting inside.
(One of Mateo's terms, wouldn't you know).
"Flora?" he calls. "It's me."
