your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand
Flora’s gaze flicks between the two of them as she lets her fingers trail along the edge of the crate once more, feeling the weight of what it represents settle like sunlight across her shoulders instead of stormclouds. It's a win. Small, maybe, but real. Tangible.
At Maea’s question, though, the queen straightens a little. Not defensive, but deliberate. "You can do whatever you want, of course," she begins, and there's no edge to the words, but there's steel beneath the velvet. "But if you're asking for my advice—Torchline is the safest place for them right now, and not just because I'm obviously biased about it."
Her fingers tap lightly against the crate. "We’ve got five demigods living here and we're the only region completely protected against the void." Her voice is calm, level, but threaded with quiet conviction. "Halo’s being targeted right now it seems and both Sunjata and Hotaru have already been infected and cleansed once in King's End. And the Grounds have Dygra." Glancing toward Liam and then back to Maea, Flora shrugs. "Anything that happens with Starfall someone from here will be involved, and likely more than just one."
Pausing, the queen taps her fingers against the crate thoughtfully for a moment, weighing something in her mind. "Then again...someone like Asta might appreciate having a flower as a way of ensuring that should anything happen to Danta he'd have a way of healing him, if he ever started seeing purple."
