Flora's interest piques as Kaiden shares their experiences with Vox and the ghostwhale, her brow arching slightly. "A ghostwhale, huh? That sounds awesome," she hums, delighted.
However, her expression quickly shifts to one of concern as Kaiden details their confrontation with Hadama. "He what?" Flora's voice rises slightly, her shock evident. "Trying to kill a voidshell tumsea—that's... that's not like him. Or it shouldn't be." She shakes her head, the tangles in her hair seeming less the product of wind and more a reflection of her inner turmoil. "I've seen him go to bat over a dried bit of coral before, but he's going to draw the line just because the tumsea was a little bit different?"
Her gaze softens as she sees the distress in Kaiden's posture, the clench of their fists beneath the waves. "Listen babe, fuck him, okay?" She steps a bit closer to the water's edge, her own feet brushed by the foam as if trying to bridge the distance between them with more than just words. "If he wants to fight you or chase you out, he'll have to go through me first." Her assurance is adamant, protective even.
Flora looks back towards the horizon, then to Kaiden with a resolute nod. "If you ever feel unsafe, you come find me, okay? We'll figure it out. Cause we're Family, right?"
