Jack lying to spare her feelings is one thing the queen has never had to worry about, and so it's with a sigh that she just nods and accepts his words at face value. As for her brother's warning? Biting at the inside of her cheek Flora considers, and if nothing else, that alone shows some attempt at growth and restraint on her part. "It can wait," she murmurs softly before slipping out of the bed and heading toward the dress she'd peeled out of a day or so ago. Leaning down she rumages around for the small present, her thoughts suddenly haunted by images of Niki bundled up on his floor.
Tossing the gift onto Jack's lap, Flora's gaze finds his as she shrugs, almost apologetically as if knowing this would once again place him into her debt, gift-wise. "Happy Birthday." I didn't have a chance to give it to you the other nightor throw it into the sea going unsaid.
Slipping back into bed, but remaining sitting—gods knew what time it was, but though she felt exhausted she didn't feel tired—Flora's eyes narrow slightly. "Babe, I seriously doubt that just because we died, we don't still have a big purple bullseye on our backs." If anything, being ressurected probably made the targets bigger. But she took his point, and besides, she'd have to talk it through with Hadama first anyway before just up and giving her boyfriend one of Torchline's strongest weapons.

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