karma's a relaxing thought, aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Flora watches as Nova and Kaiden get busy with their sorting, the scene so charmingly mundane that for a moment she can almost convince herself that nothing more complicated than rock arranging has ever occupied her mind. "Sparkly ones are all yours, Nova," she agrees with a grin, before moving along the bank to survey Kaiden's purple-dominated collection. "Nice haul, Kaiden," she remarks approvingly, nudging a particularly smooth stone closer to the others. "These colours will be perfect."
She hears the gentle clopping of hooves, and turns to see Sohalia returning with the wagon and the horse. Flora's expression softens visibly—though whether it's for the Luminary or the very handsome horse is anyone's guess. "I'll help you," she calls, jogging over to meet them halfway and gently taking hold of the bridle, murmuring quiet praise to the horse as she guides him closer to the group. "Thanks for this," she says softly to Sohalia, a little warmth and apology mingling in the words.
As they reach the others, Flora pats the wagon's sturdy side, calling cheerfully over her shoulder. "Okay team, let's get these stones loaded up!" Her voice lifts with playful command as she gestures toward their meticulously sorted piles. "Sparkles and pretty colours on the right, muted ones on the left. Everyone ready?"
Final round!
