flora
Flora doesn’t exactly mean to be the centre of attention when she wanders down the Ahi Coast. She’s just here to walk off a headache and get some sun on her skin—the kind that doesn’t taste like anxiety and court politics. But unfortunately for her (and even more unfortunately for whoever’s towel she’s about to step on), she does still look exactly like herself: a braid over one shoulder, long legs tanned and glittering with sea-spray, and an aqua sundress that’s more revealing than regal.
The second Caden points in her direction, Flora freezes. One gold-ringed hand lifts automatically to her sunglasses, sliding them down her nose so she can peer over the top and give him a look. A long look. And then, like someone who's been personally called out by a game show host, she sighs and starts walking.
"Depends," she calls back, cutting across the sand like a born-and-bred Torchliner. "Do I get a commemorative sticker if I survive?" She stops a few feet away, hands on her hips, glancing between Hugo and Caden like she’s debating which one is more likely to throw her. The unicorn glints like a copper coin in the sun; Caden, like the person who probably once tried to pay for something with a copper coin and a wink.

I want to be when you fall on me like night
I wanna kill the lights
I wanna kill the lights
