Flora laughs softly, nudging him again with a playful roll of her eyes. "Wow, you're so right—planning a quest that drags you through personal nightmares right before your boyfriend’s birthday is just top-tier romance." Her voice is teasing, but there's a sympathetic warmth beneath it, fingers giving his arm a gentle squeeze. "Honestly though, he's probably going to appreciate the effort even more, knowing what you were working on at the same time." She flashes him a mischievous smile, eyes glinting. "That's real love, babe."
At his response to her proposed distractions, her expression lights up dramatically, grin widening with delight. "Mmm, gossip and poor life choices, my two greatest talents," she hums with exaggerated pride, leaning in to match his conspiratorial whisper. "Good call."
Straightening slightly, though still comfortably tucked beneath his arm, Flora tilts her head thoughtfully at the mention of Thalassa, curiosity flickering across her face. "Oh—I've met her," she says lightly, the corner of her lips twitching into an amused half-smile. "She threw daggers at my head. Consenually, of course." The grin grows brighter, clearly entertained by the memory. "She's good though—quick, sharp. If you trust her, I'm definitely interested." Little did the queen know that she'd already witnessed Thal's talents in action, lightening Flora's purse and absconding with her mirror when last the Doubletake was in the Grounds.

I can't stop you putting roots in my dreamland
