you look like my next mistake
Humming a note of surprise as well as delight as she's tugged firmly back to Jack's side, Flora can't help the way her thoughts begin to gild softly despite their current topic of conversation.
At his suggestion, though, she scoffs, arching a brow up at him as she leans into his warmth. "Thing is, to do that I'm pretty sure we'd need a piece of them, and while I know I'm not the most selfless person out there, I think it would make way more sense to protect an entire part of King's End than it would just to keep me or Mateo safe." It was that thinking that had her wanting to go to Dahlia in the first place, because if it came down to the sacrifice of a few over the death or enslavement of basically everyone...well, that was math even someone like Flora could do pretty easily.
At his final remark, she grins, rolling her eyes before leaning up to press a quick, warm kiss to his jaw. "Oh, so you do want to get me drunk before revealing your grand schemes?" she purrs, fingers squeezing his. "Is that so I can't storm off as easily, or so that I'll be easier to convince?"
