Flora grins back, the connection between them reinforced by Kaiden's words. Her gaze flicks across the water's surface, catching the last rays of the setting sun that turn the waves into molten gold. It's a view that brings a certain peace, a stark contrast to the turmoil they're discussing.
"Absolutely, I'll tell them," she replies enthusiastically, her voice carrying clearly over the gentle lap of the waves. "And Kaiden, that's not just something. Being able to move where others can't, to breathe underwater—that's a huge advantage. You're a vital part of this Family, don't ever think otherwise."
She steps a bit closer to the water, where the foam brushes against her sandals, the boundary between their worlds before her expression softens, a mix of admiration and a protective fierceness. "And don't you worry about Hadama or anyone else. If they give you trouble, they answer to me." Her tone is firm, a queen's decree more than a friend's reassurance.
She takes a deep breath, letting the salty air fill her lungs before exhaling slowly. "And Dahlia will definitely want to hear about your skills. We always need more eyes under the sea!" Flora chuckles, the sound light and genuine. "Anyway, I'll catch you later okay?" As she prepares to leave, Flora casts one more glance back at Kaiden, tipping him a wink before she turns to walk back up the shore, leaving a trail of footprints in the wet sand.
